Scotland's most 'unforgettable' high streets named - see list of 11 From the Scottish Border to the Highlands and Islands. Scotland's most "unforgettable" high streets have been named in a new list put together by travel experts. On Thursday, July 16, WorldAtlas shared a roundup of "11 Scotland towns with unforgettable main streets". The experts considered factors such as architecture, landmarks, and heritage when putting together the list. One of the destinations that was named by WorldAtlas as being home to one of Scotland's most memorable high streets is Melrose in the Scottish Borders. The town and civil parish is nestled at the foot of the triple peaks of the Eildon Hills, and is best known for the ruined Melrose Abbey that dates back to 1136. Melrose's High Street is renowned for its small family-owned shops and historic charm. It was praised by WorldAtlas for its architecture and wide selection of independent businesses, among which are café Apples for Jam, gift shop Butterfly, and women's clothing store Sarah Thomson. The experts wrote: "Backed by the three peaks of the Eildon Hills, Melrose’s High Street has pink-toned 18th-century architecture and local shops. Selections include bakeries and artisan craft stores, as well as coffee shops and pubs, including Baguette'n'Go, a sandwich shop. This adds to the local atmosphere and reveals the cultural and culinary ties of a Scottish Borders town. "At the end of High Street, near Market Square, the Trimontium Museum tells the region's Iron Age history and its prominence as the largest Roman fort north of Hadrian's Wall. At the other end of the street, Gibson Caravan Park has hiking and bicycling trails that run along the River Tweed, along with campsites and fields for rugby and golf." Elsewhere, another location included on WorldAtlas' list of Scotland's most unforgettable main streets is Plockton in the Scottish Highlands. Often referred to as the 'Jewel of the Highlands', the village is centred around the picturesque Harbour Street that looks out over sea loch Loch Carron. Harbour Street is home to the Plockton Distillery, as well as popular takeaway The Harbour Fish Bar and the Plockton Inn. It was noted by experts for its views and wildlife spotting opportunities, with marine species such as dolphins and seals often seen in the water. WorldAtlas stated: "On Harbour Street, a row of 19th-century whitewashed cottages overlooks Loch Carron, where seals and dolphins can sometimes be spotted. The Wester Ross mountains oversee the streetscape and its unique palm tree-like New Zealand cabbage trees." The travel experts also singled out Dunkeld in Perth and Kinross on its list of Scotland's most memorable high streets. The town's Bridge Street is home to notable landmarks such as the ARAN Bakery and the 19th century Dunkeld Bridge, with WorldAtlas stating that Bridge Street "makes an impression". Other streets that earned a spot on the roundup are Culross' Back Causeway and Pittenweem's High Street. The former was noted for its cobblestones and historic whitewashed cottages, while the latter received praise for its colourful buildings and landmarks such as the village's Parish Church. Three Scottish island main streets were also named on WorldAtlas' roundup, with Tobermory's Main Street, Portree Harbour on the Isle of Skye, and Guildford Street in Millport on the island of Great Cumbrae all earning a place. Rounding out the experts' list are Kelso's Horsemarket in the Scottish Borders, Crieff's High Street in Perthshire, and Inveraray's Main Street in Argyll and Bute.
