A new study has revealed the Scottish areas with the greatest number of empty homes, with some having over 10 per cent of dwellings vacant.
The research, carried out by money.co.uk, found that Comhairle nan Eilean Siar has the highest percentage of empty accommodation. It was discovered that the Outer Hebrides council area has 2,000 vacant homes, or 13.3 per cent of its total number of dwellings.
Following in second is Argyll & Bute, which was found to have 5,000 empty homes out of around 48,000, or 10.4 per cent. The administrative area is the second-largest in Scotland, and its border runs through Loch Lomond.
