i don’t know if i can get citizenship, i have a misdemeanor on my record. i might be stuck here. but im scotts irish and some of my ancestors came from aberdeen, scotland.
it’s probably to expensive for me, they have nice golf courses? yes? maybe i can work on a golf course.
i used to say i wanted my ashes spread in scotland. im thinking of that time i promised the judge i was going to expatriate.
fair trade. america gets prince harry and meghan markle, and scotland gets me.
Scotland is a great country man. Yeah we have loads of golf courses so I reckon there would be employment available.
Don’t know anything about citizenship
Lifer, I think you should first move to wherever you are going to move to and tell us afterward.
thats an awesome idea, you only life once, go for it
And as the venerable Mike Meyers said, “if it’s not Scottish, it’s crap!”
where are you just now Lifer? is it nice?
moving is a very big deal, i think you should visit a few times to get an idea of the place, it gets cold and wet half the year btw
i am in the eastern midwest in america. weather is ok here nice fall, hot and humid summer, wet and fairly warm spring. 3 cold months of winter, but i find december to be nice after a hot summer and with holiday festivities. last winter we got less than 5 inches of snow.
it’s ok here, but im feeling adventurous and could easily kiss this place goodbye.
Come and visit Scotland, Edinburgh is nice and Loch Lomond is picturesque, i’m sure you have some nice places where you live as well, I think its a good idea to get to know somewhere first before doing anything.
yeah who knows, it’s a big decision. i will definitely at least visit sometime soon. it’s on my list of potential destinations for a move, along with a few places here in the states. cold and wet doesn’t sound like something i’d enjoy, but it wouldn’t be so bad being in a different country. everything would be so new and exciting for a few years.
I’m Scotts Irish too. At least 1/4 of me is. I’ve also thought of moving to Scotland, but it is probably very cold. People taking the med’s we take could get in trouble if we’re too careless regarding the weather. I doubt if I will go there. I might just go to visit.
Cold in Scotland? I doubt it
Well, like the English king said in Braveheart, “The problem with Scotand is it’s full of Scots.”
The problem with Scotland is its full of Midges ‘little blood sucking blighters’ lol
guys, what if i move to scotland and accidentally hit on my long lost cousin? haha jk. i would be super paranoid about it. would only go for immigrants.
I went to Edinburgh one time i think in March. It was very cold. Just so ya know…
Idk, I think moving to a new country would be very hard for someone with schizophrenia.
And Scotland is a very unique and different country from America.
You have to think about a whole set of social mores and culture you would have to learn. And little things like the type of food you enjoy would also be drastically changed.
Just some food for thought. 
I felt out of place moving to a new city in the USA.
I moved to aruba for a few years, dont regret it, had alot of memorable experiences.
but if you want to go to iceland, its free room and board lol
I moved from Australia to America for love.
It’s not something I’d do again. Don’t get me wrong it was a great experience and worth every cent. The memories will keep me going forever but honestly I wouldn’t do it again and I wouldn’t recommend it if your sz.
First. It costs a lot of money. You can survive in places like Asia really cheaply but it’s a hard life for most. Everywhere else is expensive and most places are shutting down immigration. It makes it hard just for that paperwork.
Secondly. Your out of support networks. That gets old really quick. Family can help you out financially but i miss people more than most I suppose.
Honestly. It’s not something you do without a lot of support or money.
