Scotland’s land market sees several significant launches this week. 

A large arable farm in Berwickshire, near Coldingham, will tick a lot of boxes for many buyers, according to Luke French from Savills.

Combinable crops are grown across Press Mains’ 1,135 acres of predominantly Grade 3 soils, which rise from 105m to 202m. The farm’s winter wheat typically yields 4t/acre and winter barley 3.75t/acre.

Press Mains is on the market at offers in excess of £7m. (Savills 0131 247 3723)

Three productive blocks of arable land are bringing more than 300 acres to the Stirlingshire and Fife market. The largest is 150 acres at Dales and Sunnybank, north of Inverkeithing.
