The Rettie Blog

We’re delighted to be attending the Kilmacolm & Port Glasgow Agricultural Show for the first time this year, and we’re especially pleased to be bringing our Rettie trailer along. If you’ve not attended before, this is a much-loved local event that offers something for all ages. It’s a true community occasion, and we’re proud to be part of it.

Living Local with Rettie returns with Series 2, diving deeper into the stories, local knowledge, and heartfelt service that define Rettie. This campaign celebrates the passionate professionals behind the brand, showcasing their deep ties to the communities they serve across Scotland and the North of England. From the Borders to Glasgow, Edinburgh, and beyond, each episode introduces a team member whose expertise, care, and local insight help guide clients through their property journeys. More than a series about buying and selling homes, Living Local is about people, places, and the personal connections that shape every move.

As the Scottish landscape awakens from its winter slumber, a vibrant culinary renaissance unfolds in food markets across the country. Spring brings more than just budding flowers and lengthening days, it ushers in a remarkable season of fresh, local produce, artisanal craftsmanship, and community connection.
