New homes in Scotland South
Discover our energy-efficient new homes in Scotland South.
A new home in Scotland South opens the door to the north of England too. Two countries, two fantastic coastlines, two forest parks – the Galloway Forest Park and the Kielder Forest Park, and two National Scenic Areas – Eildon & Leaderfoot and Upper Tweeddale.
This mostly rural region certainly offers two for the price of one for days out from your new home, and for city life, the main routes set their sights on Edinburgh and Glasgow.
