For many people, this means moving somewhere quiet and idyllic. Relocating to a tranquil little town or village that offers both peace and also a vibrant social scene is what many retirees are after.
As reported by the Scottish Daily Express, a new study has revealed the best place to retire in the UK. Conducted by Fabulous Vegas, the research found that Dumfries and Galloway is the top spot for retirees. Fabulous Vegas found that the average price of a home in Dumfries and Galloway is £185,938, making it the 10th cheapest out of Scotland's 32 local authorities. For those considering a move to the region, the town of Kirkcudbright stands out as a popular choice.
Kirkcudbright's Castle Street, which leads to the ruins of the 16th-century MacLellan's Castle, is beloved by locals and visitors alike for its multicoloured houses. The town's vibrant mix of medieval, Georgian, and Victorian architecture easily sets it apart from nearby destinations.
