I live in Aberdeen, and you can definitely add Aberdeen and the surrouding -shire to that list. With the ongoing and very deep cutbacks happening in the oil industry, the prices have stabilised a little, but don't appear to have dropped any.

From speaking with friends and acquaintances with whom I went to Uni, it appears there's a pretty predictable pattern to housing costs: anywhere there's reasonably plentiful work, prices are very high. It's cheap to live in Stoke-on-Trent or Ayr, but good luck getting a job that pays much more than minimum, if you can find even that.
