THE letting team at Clyde Property’s Edinburgh branch has a property I would relish… if only I was a 20-something singleton, writes Beverley Brown.

Pictured above right is The Black Grouse, a fully furnished barge owned by Scottish Canals and permanently moored at the scenic Lochrin basin in Fountainbridge, only a 10-minute walk from Princes Street.

Offering an opportunity to live closer to nature and enjoy very low running costs, the barge has a fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms, shower room and electric central heating.

Ideal for one or two people, it’s available now for £650 per month – contact Nicholas Scott at Clyde’s office for more detail.
