A review of the Point
Annabel (Tenant)
The Point, AB10
Oct 2024
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Really lovely place to live! It’s so modern and clean with a range of facilities. The best thing is the rooftop, location and staff, they really go out of their way to help you! The only downside is that because of the central location of the building, you can always hear cars or people on nights out from outside.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, they’re always quick and efficient with this.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Lack of lighting in some rooms as they don’t face outwards.

Scotland
Boasting some of the highest scores for standards of living in the UK, Scotland is a country of extraordinary natural beauty. Add to that its friendly, cultured cities and a rich history stretching back for centuries, and you have a location that offers something for everyone. Whether you live in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen or another of its cities, or find a home closer to nature, Scotland provides plenty to appeal to property hunters of all ages and inclinations.
Aberdeenshire
Set within easy reach of the Cairngorms National Park, the city of Aberdeen was named as the best place to live and work in Scotland in a 2019 report by Demos-PwC. Alongside the stunning local scenery, another of the reasons for this was the low property prices relative to earnings. This offers residents an excellent standard of living – driven in large part by the oil and gas industry. The lively harbour city is also known as the ‘Granite City’ or ‘Silver City’ thanks to its historic granite buildings.
City of Dundee
The City of Dundee is located on the northern banks of the Firth of Tay. It has a population of around 150,000 people and is ranked as one of the best cities to live in Scotland. Dundee was established during Roman times when it was known as "Din Eidyn." The city encompasses many different areas including Angus, Abertay University Campus, Caird Hall, Fauldhouse Golf Club, Glenshee Ski Centre and more!
City of Edinburgh
The county of City Edinburgh is one of the most desirable places to live in Britain. It's a county with a rich history and thriving culture, and it's also the home of many prestigious universities. If you're thinking about moving to Scotland - or even if you're just curious about this wonderful place - we hope that our guide will be helpful!
City of Glasgow
The City of Glasgow is a large city in Scotland that lies on the River Clyde. It has a population of 598,040 and an area of 335 square miles. Known as "the Dear Green Place," the city offers residents plenty to do with over 300 parks, gardens, and golf courses. The University of Glasgow is one of its notable institutions as well as being home to some 80 different languages spoken by students from all around the world!
