On the high road

Article Abstract:

It is important that property development is undertaken within the framework of the size of the company and the size of its portfolio, according to Scottish Metropolitan Managing Director Scott Cairns. Cairns feels that the company, which is the largest property concern in Scotland, should focus on the markets with which it is familiar in Scotland and the north of England. He points out that there are particularly good prospects for rental and capital growth in Edinburgh, Scotland, where a number of high-quality retailers wish to establish a presence.
