Strutt & Parker’s new Scottish Lifestyle Survey found that the global ‘wellness’ trend was a way of life for many Scottish residents, the majority of whom thought its lifestyle and the great outdoors made it stand out from the rest of the UK.

It was clear from our research that Scotland’s stunning and abundant natural resources help in the pursuit of that state of complete physical, mental and emotional wellbeing that constitutes wellness.

The survey revealed that health,fitness and enjoying Scotland’s spectacular scenery or a combination of all three were high on the list of lifestyle highlights and that people who had moved to Scotland felt happier (30%), less stressed (30%) and more active(26%). Many reported improvements in both mental health (21%) and physical health (16%) and 28% said they led a healthier lifestyle as a result of the move with a fifth taking up new interests.
