Hi there, What's the cheapest places to live in Scotland? As in rental housing. Not on the streets :)

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

In general, if you avoid Glasgow and Edinburgh, then most other places are reasonably priced.

Hope this helps.

As a suggestion, try searching on the many online property websites which usually do rentals as well as sales. Just enter the different towns or cities to see what's available. These are a couple of them:

Incidentally, apart from Glasgow and Edinburgh, the other very expensive city is Aberdeen which became expensive due to the oil and gas industry.
