The data also shows that Scotland’s most expensive addresses neighbour first class fairways with iconic address The Scores in St Andrews second only to Gleneagles.

The research, analysing sales between 2020 and H1 2025 where there were five or more sales over £1million, comes as the golfing world’s attention shifts from Team Europe’s nail-biting win in the Ryder Cup to Dunhill host St Andrews.

The wider St Andrews area recorded the highest volume of £1m+ sales with 80 transactions since 2020, more than the West End of Glasgow in the same period.

Meanwhile, properties on The Scores averaged £1,307,284, whilst the Hamilton Grand set a new benchmark with the penthouse apartment selling for £4.2million and reaching a record-breaking £2,326/sqft in the same development.

Jamie McNeill, director at Fyndd, said: “Scotland – and St Andrews in particular – is the ancestral home of golf and the sport is central to the country’s international appeal. High net worth buyers are willing to pay premiums for properties near top golf courses.

“Offering world-famous golf, St Andrews is akin to a pilgrimage site for golfers and the town’s best addresses – the Hamilton Grand and The Scores – are some of the most sought-after in Scotland. They offer true international appeal, especially to the American market. The town also offers a stunning coastal location and an excellent university, both key factors in the property market.”

Gleneagles topped the leaderboard for the most expensive address with an average price of £1,944,375 and properties on the development’s Caledonian Crescent averaging £1,617,000 during this period. The Archerfield Estate in East Lothian recorded the third highest average with £1,255,050.

The fourth most expensive street was in Elie and Earlsferry in Fife, with the average price on The Shore at £1,246,500. McNeill said: “There are arguably two stimuli here as The Shore benefits from both a fantastic coastline with beautiful views as well as proximity to Elie Golf House Club, one of Scotland’s most charming and picturesque links golf courses.”

McNeill said: “The link between golf and property isn’t restricted to the super-prime market. Fairway-side living blends prestige with breathing space - open views and often fewer neighbours. With the course on your doorstep, the lifestyle benefits are obvious, and the data shows the power of golf as an enduring attraction and a perpetual driver for property values.”
