The Scots. They'll believe anything.
So here's Scotland on Sunday with a piece about how two-thirds of the top end of Scottish property purchases are by non-Scots (or twats as the Scots call them). Okay, we can believe that. The reason given is that even expensive Scottish houses are cheap, and with this whole rise in super-lucrative Internet blogging, you don't have to be in London. They talk to a Savills agent, called Jamie MacNab, who were going to take a punt about and assume is with a Scottish office:
"When you think that our London office is selling £60m houses, Scottish houses, even at the very top end - which is around £2.5m - are dirt cheap."
£60 million houses. Come on... hands up. Which London agent told him that?
