Have namechanged for this as details could be outing.
I am Scottish and DH is French. We have been living in France for 20 years and have 2 DC who have only ever lived in France. DH and I met in Glasgow and he lived there for 4 years. We moved to France for job/weather reasons.
I have been hankering after moving back to Glasgow for years and we are seriously thinking about it. DC are 10 and 13 so it feels like now or never as soon it will be too hard to uproot them due to exams.
I've spent hours looking at property and jobs and I would really appreciate opinions from those of you lucky enough to be in this great city. From what I can make out, property has got really expensive and there are jobs but lots of people going after them.
We want (like everyone!) to live somewhere with safe streets and good schools. Used to live in the West End but doubt we could afford it now (budget about 200,000 to 240,000 depending on value of current house and exchange rate.) Have connections with Anniesland, Scotstoun and Queens Park in the south.
Thanks anyone who has any advice / an opinion on my mad notion to move from the sunny French countryside to Glasgow....
