A SCOTTISH property group has declared that a housing development near a famous Scottish castle associated with Mary Queen of Scots has been its fastest-selling development in the last 12 months.
Livingston-based Dundas Estates said it had released its final four-bedroom homes at its Pace Hill development at Milnathort in Perth & Kinross, a short journey from Lochleven Castle, at which Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned in 1567.
It added that these were the final three properties to go on the market at the site. The overall development comprises 77 houses, including 10 affordable homes.
Irene Wilson, sales negotiator at Pace Hill, said: “This is our final release of properties at the extremely popular Pace Hill development.”
She added: “It has been our fastest selling development over the last 12 months and we now have just five properties remaining across the site.”
Dundas Estates earlier this week unveiled plans for a major new housing development near Glasgow.
It noted its latest 128-home project will be its second development at Cambuslang in South Lanarkshire.
The independent Scottish property developer has already sold all 61 homes at its Gilbertfields View project, which is adjacent to the new site.
Construction is already under way on the new development, named Gilbertfield Woods.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
