  • In this video, I share my honest and quite controversial opinion about living in Scotland. Having lived in Scotland for a significant period of time, I believe I have a unique perspective on what it's really like to live in this country.
    Throughout the video, I discuss the realities of living in Scotland, including some of the good thing but also culture shocks I've experienced.
    Whether you're a resident of Scotland, considering moving here, or simply interested in what it's like to live here, this video will provide you with a raw and unfiltered perspective on the reality of living in Scotland. So, if you're ready to hear an honest and controversial opinion on what it's really like to live in Scotland, then this video is for you.

    I’m African American and I was a little nervous about going there but I had a BLAST. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and I felt so safe. No one bothered me. No one followed me through the store. I told people how much I loved their country and they were so proud. An older gent flirted up a STORM with me. I cried on the last night because I didn’t want to leave.

    As an American who moved to Edinburgh in 1988 and then over to Glasgow around 1994 and then over to Dublin in 1998, I can say Glasgow gets much more rain than Edinburgh but Edinburgh has a cold that comes off of the North Sea. Dublin has loads of people who are drunk and partying in the streets, so Edinburgh doesn't have as many. It is true that in Scotland you can have conversations with total strangers, more so than in Dublin. I think Scots are much better at celebrating things like weddings - whole day/night events.

    I’m from Scotland - I moved to USA 3 years ago and I had a baby with my partner and we are moving back to Scotland. As a Scottish person that’s been exposed to USA - it is APPALLING over here. No help, no maternity leave, no pay after having a baby, terrible health insurance (which is what i knew but it gets old), the amount of poverty here and racism is disgusting ! The amount of veterans I’ve seen homeless and dealing with mental health issues etc. honestly America is so awful. As a new mother school shootings is my new anxiety.

    I agree with the rain lol yes, we get a LOT OF RAIN here year round. I love the spring and summer and the light nights and long days my favourite is spring when we see the daffodils, snowdrops and bluebells are just so beautiful. It gets light in the spring and summer VERY early about 4am and gets dark around 10.30pm. Get ready to hear a lot of bagpipes being played in the city centre of Edinburgh where i live we hear them a lot. If you ever travel here i hope we welcome you and you have a great trip to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 😊

It’s a negative stereotype here that Americans will say things like “my great grandmother was clan Nicholson” and we all just roll our eyes. The general attitude here is that a Scottish person is someone from Scotland. Genetics and ancestry is little more than trivia. If your grandmother was born and raised in Yorkshire even she would be considered English, not Scottish.

    How much money is expected if attending a polish wedding? You sure you aren’t related to Asians 😂. In our weddings things are changing but the main gift expected is gold jewellery for the bride . 22c yellow gold pieces . And cash gifts are appreciated also , but to be Honest some elders often cheekily take them. So better to give gold instead .
    However if you’re not very close to the family you don’t have to give gold or cash. You can buy something for the house or anything you like and wrap it. However some ppl are becoming greedy now. They have small weddings and state no boxed gifts? Well what if ppl can’t afford an expensive gift? For me I’d love everyone to attend my children’s wedding for example and eat and leave their blessings , no gifts required . Buy a gift if you really wish to, no obligation ;)

I don't understand why the people from Scotland find it strange that Americans are interested in their ancestry. America is a country of mutts (and I mean that in the most loving way) we came from all over the world. We are generations removed now from our ancestors who braved crossing an ocean to come here and just want to know where our forefathers came from and the kind of lives they lived. We certainly don't want to offend anyone by saying that our family is originally from Scotland. If you live in Europe you already know your ancestral history so that is not something you want to know.
