For Glasgow, Kingsborough Gardens (£949,000) and Westbourne Gardens (£895,000), located in the west end of Glasgow, were the most expensive streets.

Nitesh Patel, housing economist at Bank of Scotland, said: "As the political and financial capital of Scotland, unsurprisingly the most expensive residential streets can be found in Edinburgh."

"Across Scotland the survey shows that the most expensive streets are tightly clustered in relatively small areas."

The survey used the average prices of house transactions between September 2006 and September 2010.
