House prices in Scotland have risen to an average of £192,000

SCOTLAND'S house prices rose at a faster rate annually than anywhere else in the UK in June, according to fresh figures.

While growth slowed sharply across the UK in the face of pressure on households and rising interest rates, Scotland's prices still rose by 11.6% to an average of £192,000 - a record level.
