Customer Reviews

Good read4
Very comprehensive guide to relocating to Scotland. It is disappointing that it is so hard to get into the U.K. to work and experience a different kind of life - unless you are highly educated, sponsored by a company that wants to hire you, or rich. It is still a good read, and the writing is very easy to follow.

Not what I thought3
It should be clear that this book is basically aimed at people from England wanting to move to Scotland. If you're American, there are some hard and strict rules which most of us would not be able to meet.
