As I am Scottish, I could be biased. Scotland has less people than London, roads are not as congested, great scenery and makes incomers very welcome, it is as modern as any country in the world, heath care is superb and the cost of living must be the lowest in the UK. Scotland's education surpasses any country in the world as is demonstrated by the achievements of some of it's past contributions to the world, for instance, Penicillin, tarmac roads, television, telephone, pneumatic tyres, gas lighting, the fax machine, and much more including the liners Queen Mary and queen Elizabeth,
it was the first country in the world to insist that a primary school was available to all the population even in the remote areas, like any country it's not perfect but it's very good. |

Scotland is a lovely place to live with the exception of the weather sometimes.Stunning scenery,amazing history,great people.In Edinburgh due to the University's and the Edinburgh Festival foreigners are so common they are barley noticed .
The cost of living in big cities is on par with London which depending on what you are buying is not cheap.You don't have to go far from Edinburgh if you want the unspoilt Scotland,but if you want blow your socks off scenery, go to the Highlands,Loch Ness,Glencoe you,ll love it. |

I am a foreigner and I lived in Edinburgh for 6 months and LOVED it. Was treated really well. Would love to go back and live there. It is so much cheaper to live there than London. The good thing about Scotland is there are so many calm places. |

Great place to live and work.
Most foreigners are treated well and fit in well....most of them are hard-working decent people.
Central Fife is good for farming, with good colleges.....Elmwood at Cupar is the top Agricultural College.
The only drawback with Scotland is the anti-social next-door [Southern] neighbours who keep pushing their noses in.......and wanting to keep all their weapons of mass destruction up here! |

I hear the people are absolutely top notch. I say go for it. Most smart people are thinking about living there, at least I am and I'm not the dumbest bloke out there. |

Hi tts
Edinburgh is a fantastic place to live as for foreigners you'll have no problems at all. The city is full of colleges. Glasgow is bigger however is dirty and smelly and folk can be bigots just look at the football fans of rangers and celtic. |

I know people who went to college there and then married and stayed. I haven't been yet, but I think it would be terrific.
The colleges are first-rate, and much less costly than US schools. |

Yes, because J.K. Rowling lives there! ;) No, I'm not sure, but I would definitely like to go there. |

I would love to live in Scotland. It is a beautiful place but a little wet at times. It has wild rugged beauty.
We are pumping huge amounts of money into the place so the education should be top notch. Our Scottish MP's and cabinet ministers are looking after their own. |

It all depends. Its the same as anywere. You'll find an area for whatever life style your looking for.
There are loads of nice places to live.
The only difference between here and England is there are slighly different laws. |
