Affordability has been a key factor in Scotland's out performance of the rest of the UK from the first quarter of 2005 to the first quarter of 2006. The top four towns were Cupar (36 per cent) and Lochgelly in Fife, and Coatbridge and Lanark, both in Lanarkshire. Despite a slowing down of increases, prices continue to rise making the country an attractive place for property investment in 2007. Prices have continued to rise for 69 consecutive months to December 2006, with the largest annual increase of 15 per cent being in Aberdeen.
