Us too. We are looking to buy a place in Scotland and remain very confused as to how to go about staying in Scotland long term. We are self sufficient and don’t need support from the Scottish councils or NHS although we have had wonderful ... Read More
Amidst the Brexit suspense in Scotland by Anne-Lise Mty
Hi everyone, me again. Hope you are all doing well and the weather in Scotland is treating you well (for a change!). I’m just checking in to see how our expats in Scotland are doing amidst the Brexit confusion. Actually, we are working on an ...

Understood about the Braveheart reference and we are aware of the Outlander effect, but have visited three times for a total of 2 months. We have visited Neolithic sites from Orkney to the Isle of Arran and beyond. We are in love with history and ... Read More

What a beautiful forgiving reply. Thank you for the balanced approach. We are often at a loss for words when expressing frustration. However that does not stop our desire for a place in Scotland that we can call home. Whether purchased or rented ... Read More

Speaking as an American - is anyone else embarrassed by the evil inhabiting the White House in Washington, DC? We are horrified that we will be blamed for the insanity and not as welcomed as say EU citizens are. Does anyone have any experience ... Read More
