Hi Everyone.

I'm looking to be in Scotland as soon as next year. With an ancestral Visa. I have all the info on that topic that I need. But I am requiring information on living and working in Scotland. Possibly Edinburgh or Glasgow as a start.
So need help with living costs and understanding the best way for me to find accommodation for my initial landing and staying until I get a stable income, can anyone assist?

Thanx

There is information in the expat guides located in handy tools at the top of this page. For living costs try www.numbeo.com For accommodation try the housing section at the top of this page.

A check through other posts here may give you some more info too. And a good old Google search may assist too.
