Re: For income
That all depends on how you define best (highest yield, biggest increase in yield, highest total return, lowest capital volatility, current exposure, how it generates income, etc, or some combination of factors) and how well your crystal ball is working.

If you want certainty, choose from the Dividend heroes https://www.theaic.co.uk/income-finder/dividend-heroes
Some of them have low yield, you'll want to sieve them for your desired yield level.
All these companies have many years of unbroken record which they will defend to the last drop of their executive bonuses.
Amongst them I hold CTY, JCH, MRCH, ASEI, ATY (high charges), MUT, NCYF, HFEL, LWDB. All have good/adequate yields.
I don't expect much in the way of divi increases, but I confidently predict that there will be no drops.
As to non-Scottish, don't worry..... if the Nationalist crackpots look like winning, the Finance sector will leave Scotland like maggots leaving a corpse.

I do not recognise many of these EPICS but the fact is that any investor ought I think to be cautious about going for an income IT based solely on yield. As I have said about say Imperial Brands, it can be dearly bought income if the capital value does not increase and in some cases is gained at the expense of capital, such as from a number of ITs at the moment.
As for Scottish v otherwise, whilst I am not in the least a Scottish independence supporter, if independence came, I doubt very much that the Finance sector would leave Scotland like maggots or like anything else leaving a corpse. I would expect much of the finance sector to remain, like most other businesses, in Scotland.

Good question. The attempt at colourful language by V8 did not quite come off I think.

I thought that. Surely they stick around and feed. Maybe it would be better to say maggots leaving an apple to move into a corpse. Or rats leaving a sinking corpse.

On a total return basis over 5 years, only one of these , namely LWDB, approached the return of an ETF world tracker - VWRL.
You seem to have paid a high price for "income".

I dare say you're right, over the past five years. but I presume the OP is looking for a reliable income and doesn't want to fiddle about with TR.
As am I.

Re: For income
What I’m trying to fix on is say 6 none Scottish based ITs that embrace the major markets with minimal risk and duplication paying a 4-5% dividend - I start with CTY and but then it becomes more difficult perhaps what I’m looking for doesn’t exist at the moment.

In terms of the non-UK sector, dividend focused IT's, you could look at:
JGGI - JP Morgan Global Growth & Income trust, or
HINT - Henderson International Income trust (excludes the UK)
AAIF - Aberdeen Asian [Pacific] Income trust, (Jersey based), or
SOI - Schroder Asian [Pacific] Income trust
MCT - Middlefield Canadian Income trust (includes some US holdings)
EAT - European Assets trust, or
JETI - JP Morgan European income trust
BRNA - Blackrock North American trust

some AIC sectors you could filter by to get income...
Asia Pacific Equity Income
Global Equity Income
Infrastructure
Renewable Energy Infrastructure
Royalties
UK Equity & Bond Income
UK Equity Income

to get more info on the trusts own websites. a simple google/altavista/askjeeves search normally will get you to them. you can often see longer dividend history info etc.

oh dear, I've heard this before. I spend most of yesterday working out how to undo the "improvements" mozilla made to their firefox brower. they completely ruined it! it's good how it is so please don't allow it to lose functionality or bloat in how it displays info. i have a bad feeling about this. it happens so often with websites and apps. developers can't for some reason just leave well alone. desperately trying to justifying their pay cheque i suppose.

i've been burnt too many times to trust on this topic. this user does not want any functionality to be lost. user experience usually translates to making it easier for new users who are not of the mind to explore and work things out. which usually results in simplification and losing of functionality. and they normally add in some random appearance changes which take getting used to but add nothing. not what i want for sure.
i won't reply any further on this as we're veering off topic.
