This is a diverse area. Originally a stronghold of Gaelic but now with a high number of people from out with the island. A quiet and afflluent area often with a large number of detached houses with splendid sea views. It is family friendly and socially safe. Parking is limited on single track roads. Beauty spots suffer greatly from overtourism.

Ever wondered about the crime rate in your UK postcode? You're not alone. We've dug deep into the data, uncovering trends and patterns that'll make your head spin.
Death of the High Street?
The BBC reports that despite councils' attempts to kurb them, the UK's high streets have seen a huge growth in fast food outlets. Could this mark the death knell for the Great British high street, and what can we do about it to halt its decline?
Discrimination by Postcode

SOCIAL GRADES
According to census records, 0% of people here have a social grade of AB (highest), compared to the national average of 27%.
