Hey Peter - This series (including the last video on pets) could not be more timely! We are moving from TN to Edinburgh in Sept. While we’ve been doing our planning for quite a while now, your videos always surface things that I had not thought to do! So thank you for all of these! Maybe I can buy you a pint or two once we arrive. 😊 🏴
Hey Peter, thanks so much for the videos. I'm a California dude who was born in Scotland and plans to retire there in a year or two, so your videos are super helpful. I've got lots of family there, but it's awesome to have your American perspective on the US-UK move. More please! PS the cat stuff is also VERY helpful cuz I have a cat...
I would seriously suggest getting a photocopied version of your passport main page before travelling anywhere internationally. You can have your actual passport lost or stolen even if it's on your person the whole time. Just keep the photocopy separate from the original obviously (it can still be in your carry on luggage - just not in the same pocket as the real thing). Having managed to end up in France with one of our family members without her passport, having the photocopy version to show passport control on return to the UK helped to move things along smoothly. (we stilll had to wait while some admin was done, of course, but without it checks may have taken a lot longer)
You may not be able to get biscuits and gravy made for you here, but if you learn how to make the gravy yourself, Yorkshire Puddings are an incredible substitute for American Biscuits. I would definitely be interested in seeing what you find most noteworthy of the food differences. I have lots of my own opinions on the matter and always am intrigued by what others notice.
I just found your channel. Have you done a video on being able to move to Scotland? How were you able to move there. If what I have seen really only going to college is a way for an American to move there. Then when you finish college you can work there for two years.
you can get Paul Newman's Ranch Dressing in UK supermarkets, I would assume it would be similar to the one in the States. Mexican food was never a thing here simply because there is no demand for it, Asian Indian food though... that is our equivalent.
In the US, newman’s ranch is fairly expensive and only mid when it comes to flavour. The version they sell here is a different recipe and unfortunately doesn’t taste anything like proper ranch to me lol.
I've tried it. It's definitely better than the newman's own but still not great lol. I have a couple jars of hidden valley ranch seasoning i brought over, so when I want ranch I just have to get mayo and buttermilk to mix with it and it's authentic!

We moved from San Diego to Edinburgh just over a year ago. Its been far more challenging than I expected, but overall positive.
@@spyhunter66 Any cautionary tales or advice for us? I’d be curious to hear about the challenges you are referring to, if you’re open to sharing.
yes tell us about the food and drink Thank you for Sharing

Curious to know why you chose that part of Scotland (It's beautiful) and which route/visa you went in on.

@@peterkonradort you might find Heaven at Costco Glasgow. Looked online and they have Briannas' Classic Buttermilk Ranch Dressing, maybe worth a look.
