Edinburgh continues to draw in property hunters from around the world, with nine out of the ten most popular postcodes among overseas buyers in the capital.
Only one - St Andrews- features in the most popular hot-spots for those buying property in Scotland from outside the UK.
The annual Country of Origin report has just been released by Registers of Scotland and it shows most overseas buyers attracted to Scotland come from the United States (12.8 per cent), Hong Kong (8.6 per cent) and Australia (6.9 per cent).
A total of 28,351 property titles in Scotland are registered to overseas addresses.
Of these properties, 5,227 are in Edinburgh. Properties closest to Edinburgh University appear to be in the most demand.
Glasgow, Renfrewshire, Fife, Highland and Aberdeen the next most popular locations for the overseas buyer.
