Moving to Edinburgh/Dunfermline area

[MIFFY03]

Hi,
I am 62 , husband will be 70 later this year and we are looking to move upto Scotland this year. Our youngest daughter lives in South Queensferry and has a 18th month old and another on the way. Our eldest lives near us just outside Manchester, she has a 6 year old and 4 month old. As our family is growing we and our eldest are looking to move up near south queensferry. This will probably be our last move so would like to be near the sea. We've been looking at Dalgety Bay, Burnt Island and seen a lovely bungalow overlooking the sea in Kinghorn although that seems quite a small community. Also schools are important so need a good school for our granddaughters. We have 2 dogs so also need good places to walk the dogs. Appreciate very long post, any advice very welcome.
TIA

Hi there. You might get more replies if you move this to Scotsnet. No advice for you myself 😀

I know these areas reasonably well. You will find some lovely properties but my advice is to spend some time in the general area and look round. I would not chose Dalgety Bay due to the radioactive contamination there. I believe they have cleaned it up now but I'd personally not go there. Further along the east coast is much nicer but much more expensive. Pittenweem is beautiful, Crail too. As with most small communities there will be very nice homes and not so nice homes.
