Nairnac has drawn our attention to a Bank of Scotland survey that looks at the cost of living in a Scottish seaside town in terms of buying a house.Nairn is third most expensive which maybe explains the interest from developers to build here; cheapest is Wick, which Nairnac is tempted to move to!
Most of the neighbouring properties where I live are holiday homes, is Nairn to become the same as many Highland towns, a place where locals can no longer afford to live?

I think we reached that point some time ago, hence the clear need for 'affordable' housing
New taxation laws could reduce the number of holiday homes. There are good arguments for and against. They help the local economy on one hand yet limit availability on the other. An interesting view on the issue here - http://cometonairn.com/category/nairn-news
Did you know that some affordable housing is owned by existing local home-owners and sub-let? Now that can't be right!
Has Gordon been Gurning ?
"Gordon Brown has set out his policy plans for the next year, including a move to let councils give local people more priority on housing waiting lists"......

now all we need in Nairn are the actual council houses to be built and we're back on track.
Are they the ones you call the "Greedy B******s.?

If you have evidence of this, then instead of 'gurning' about it a report could be made to the appropriate authorities.
