Hi everyone! me and my boyfriend are considering moving to Scotland and starting a life there. Can you tell me what life is like there? is it affordable to buy a house or maybe a plot of land? we are interested in a quiet life so we are open to living outside the cities.

You should absolutely move to Scotland, if you are ready to put up with the political batshittery that seems to be seeking into the societal fabric. Near legalized drug use, open political corruption, sky high taxes which are siphoned off by the corrupt devolved government, terrible NHS, even worse schools.

Basically a much worse version of England.

I don't think this is a fair description at all. I have a sibling in England and their NHS seems far worse. I also feel safer here.

You forgot to mention free travel under 22/over 60, free prescriptions, free personal care, free hospital parking, free road tolls, £25pw Scottish child supplement and tremendous drinking water that is unmetered. Oh, and the Carers' supplement and the witty, self-effacing banter of native and committed new Scots. But, hey, you don't sound like you appreciate Scotland much if at all. I hope your move to England is successful and you find yourself at hame with yer ain folk. 🙃
