| Comment | I moved here from NC in 2022 and can share my abbreviated thoughts - feel free to DM me if you have more questions:
1. As in America, there are areas where this is rife, and areas where you’ll never see a trace of it.
2. We were heavily focused on living in an area with great schools and focused on East Renfrewshire (Giffnock, Clarkston, Newton Mearns) and East Dunbartonshire (Bearsden, Milngavie) rather than Glasgow City. This may be unpopular on this sub, but it was important to us as it will make our house easier to sell if we suddenly end up needing to move back to the States. And we have kids, so it was important for that reason too. We ended up in Milngavie and it is perfect for us, happy to provide more details if you like.
3. There is a tendency to think prejudice barely exists in Scotland. I’m blind to most of it unfortunately but I would say Scots are generally progressive and welcoming, but there are also lots of dickheads here as in America. Do remember that unlike America, racist speech is a criminal offense here. |
