Industrial and logistics finance in the Scotland

Scotland is a country within the United Kingdom with more than 790 surrounding islands, a population of around 5.4 million and nearly a third of the UK's land area. We arrange the full range of industrial and logistics finance across the Scotland, from the commercial mortgages that buy and hold a unit, a warehouse or an estate to the bridging, development, mezzanine and equity behind a refurbishment, a distribution scheme or a yard. Industrial and logistics market data is published nationally and regionally by CBRE, Knight Frank, Savills, Colliers and MSCI, so the figures above are presented as clearly-labelled benchmarks, with the regional figures attributed to their sources, while the planning and housing-transaction data is genuinely local for the towns we track.

Scotland recorded the UK's lowest vacancy at the end of 2025, around 2.5%, and a yield tightening that reflects improving investor confidence, with activity constrained mainly by the lack of available stock.

Nationally, forecast logistics rental growth runs at 2.7% (Savills, Big Shed Prospects 2026, 2026 forecast), against UK logistics vacancy of 7.08% (CBRE, UK Logistics Q4 2025, Q4 2025) and a prime distribution yield of 5% (Knight Frank, UK Logistics Market Dashboard, Jan 2026). That supply and demand picture is the backdrop to every regional appraisal we run.
