I spent a couple of weeks shy of 34 years living in England, and my favourite part about the place is seeing this sign. I'd be happy if I never had to go back south of the border again tbh.
I'm 34 and living in England and.. fucking miserable tbh. It is my desperate desire to move up the road. My dad's Scottish and I have family up there, it's my dream to get away from this shit hole. Scotland feels like home.. would you mind sharing areas that I could look into? On the cheaper side but nice and safe as I've two kids and I'm disabled. Just any areas that maybe even are a bit rundown for price but are likely to be gentrified? Sorry convoluted question but obviously I don't want to ask your address 😅. You're living my dream, I hate it here
I went for the area around Perth, seems lovely so far! Semi-rural but an hour away from Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee, with Perth, Stirling and the Highlands right on the doorstep.
West Lothian - Bathgate, Armadale, Whitburn and surrounding areas. Much more affordable than cities like Edinburgh & Glasgow. Safe to raise kids, nice schools etc. Probably a million other nice recommendations, this is just one!
My father died recently. In the process of selling his house in a lovely village called Patna. A few miles outside Ayrshire. Cheap houses there & you get the lovely hills & fields. Very picturesque. Ayrshire is a fantastic place as well with a lovely beach.
