I work in conveyancing and I have noticed a huge upsurge in people from England trying to sell up and move to Scotland. I know they will get more for their money up there but someone today and yesterday were total pissed off the Government. I am sure it works both ways and there is an influx to England but has anyone noticed a difference - particularly people from London especially.

I have family and friends in Scotland, and visit various parts of Scotland often. I don't recognise the claims of widespread anti-english racism that are being made, as I've never experienced it. And the idea that most people won't even holiday there any more - nonsense!

Sometimes people hear my accent and ask where I'm from, but that's it. Never had any aggro or nastiness.

I think what a lot of non-Scots forget is Scots have a zero tolerance policy on arseholes irrespective of their accent.

Zero. 😉

People wanting to get away from Tories? They'll be out in a couple of years

Will they? Sometimes I doubt that plus look at the stuff they are doing they are damaging the country

Currently live in rural Surrey. Love it here but DH and I crave beautiful isolation in our retirement and plan on relocating to the Highlands when the time comes. I don’t like the hot summers that we have in the South so Scotland would suit me down to the ground.

This. Absolutely.

My two BF in work are American and English respectively (Scottish partners so are here permanently). Neither are arseholes, so they fit in perfectly.

It’s Mintlaw. Your idea of a steal maybe?

Maybe not then…just thought it was a nice house.
My Aunty used to live in Peterhead, many years ago, & we used to spend summers up there. I say summers…I remember it raining…a lot…
