Moving to Scotland: 12 Things No-One Tells You About

Moving to Scotland: 12 Things No-One Tells You About

Putting aside stereotypes, Scotland is distinguished by its proud heritage and deeply rooted traditions. We are all aware that it is both adorable and obstinate, but what else do we not know? From politics to potholes, and because the Scots have a wonderfully forthright nature, let’s go over 12 things that no one tells you about moving to Scotland.

Moving to Scotland: #1 The Mishmash of Accents

Similar to the rest of the United Kingdom, Scotland has a significant class structure. Even between neighboring villages, the plethora of Scottish accents vary considerably in word choice and pronunciation, which serve as indicators of geographic and social status. Both Edinburgh and Glasgow are major cities, but their accents are as different as chalk and cheese. To outsiders, some Scots speak with a heavy accent, while others sound more English. This phrase frequently refers to social standing. However, the Scots are the most hospitable people, so do not judge a book by its cover and be sure to embrace everyone.

Moving to Scotland: #2 The Climate

Ah a contentious issue! The Scots have a love-hate relationship with the weather, especially since a single day can encompass all four seasons. That is, excluding winter, when it is bloody baltic, bloody cold, or bloody baltic and snowing! Still, the Scots are a resourceful people who are always prepared for any weather with an umbrella in one hand and sunscreen in the other. When the sun puts on his hat, there is no more beautiful place.

Moving to Scotland: #3 Narrow rural roadways

There is an extensive network of terrifyingly narrow country roads in Scotland, and it is helpful to know how to navigate them. First things first, simply move as far to the side as possible, and it’s remarkable that both cars can fit. It is also courteous to wave to passing cars when this occurs. Just be aware that potholes are common, and keep an eye out for them.

Moving to Scotland: #4 True or no

Although many find the discussion of the referendum to be self-explanatory, there are still some visitors who approach it in jest. Despite the personal preferences of Scots and whether they are Yes or No, keep in mind that everyone will express their opinion, particularly if you engage in heated debates and ruffle unneeded feathers.

Moving to Scotland: #5 Leaving the grid

A few locations in Scotland are notorious for their lack of signal or excruciatingly slow Internet connection. Many remote Scottish locations lack high-speed Internet connections and Wi-Fi hotspots, giving a whole new meaning to the phrase “going off the grid.”

Moving to Scotland: #6 No complimentary refills

With the possible exception of Pizza Hut and a few others, Scotland is not accustomed to offering free drinks refills, which is difficult for many Americans to comprehend. One coke will cost you money. On the plus side, it won’t be completely filled with ice, and you may even receive a slice of lemon!

Moving to Scotland: #7 The Allure of a Daily Fry-Up

Scotland’s natural pantry produces game-changing foods. The abundant Scottish seas make fish and chip shops a culinary playground that satisfies every cheat-day craving. And it is hazardous! It is very difficult to refrain from devouring deep-fried pizzas and beautifully battered fish every night. Oh, and you should also review the components of a “Glasgow Salad.” And indeed, battered Mars Bars are an ever-popular menu item.

Moving to Scotland: #8 Midges

If there is one thing you must be aware of before visiting Scotland, it is the midges! When midge season arrives, be prepared to slap your arms and legs furiously as the tiny insects wreak havoc on your outdoor activities, putting a literal fly in the ointment. Don’t gain wisdom the hard way. Pack repellent.

Moving to Scotland: #9 They Give a Spade Its Due

Scots are straightforward when expressing their opinions. And it’s magnificent! Forget about pretense and unnecessary airs and graces; Scots are unabashedly friendly and straightforward. Whether you are a tourist or a native, you always know where you stand. Additionally, it is impossible not to fall in love with the Scottish sense of humor and accompanying eccentricities.

Moving to Scotland: #10 However, they do accept all cultures.

Despite the fact that tradition and heritage are synonymous with Scottish culture, this does not imply that other elements are neglected. In fact, the opposite is true. Scotland is a platform for creativity and surprisingly receptive to new trends introduced by those of diverse cultural backgrounds.

Moving to Scotland: #11 Soccer Social Code

The Scots are avid football fans. However, be advised that discussing Celtic versus Rangers is taboo in certain circles. The underlying cause is sectarianism and an antiquated alliance to either the Catholic or Protestant faiths. Fairly speaking, the wounds are healing, but there is still work to be done.

Moving to Scotland: #12 Life Expectancy

Although numbers may be improving (albeit slowly), Scots tend to die younger than those from the rest of the United Kingdom. In a recent report, the BBC cited data from the National Records of Scotland indicating that the average age of death in Scotland is significantly lower than in England and Wales.
