Dear all,
I am a lone parent of an eight year old girl, living in South East England. After many years of a very diffuclt divorce, I'm looking for a new life and somewhere with acceptable house prices (initially looking to rent, up to £1200 monthly). Always loved Scotland and its people so my questions:
- From some research, I see many people recommend Edinburgh, Stirling and Perthshire as lovely areas to live - the important thing for us as we won't know anyone is a friendly and welcoming environment, great community as the the neighbours will soon be friends - do places like this still exist??
- Somewhere where DD won't be bullied for her english accent.
- Somewhere safe and with low crime rates, children playing together in the area without fear or uncertainty.
- Sorry if this sounds horrible, but if I'm not honest, I won't receive the right answers... somewhere "middle class", great state schools.
- Is it true that Scots are much more friendly and open than English people, friendships formed easily?
Thank you in advance.
