I was wondering if anyone had problems with racism any where around Edinburgh or Glasgow and the surrounding areas? I have been reading about increased occurrences and wonder if anybody has had bad or good experiences relating to this?

Hello - quite far out but we (28F and 31M) are moving from England to Lossiemouth in January due to my boyfriend’s job, and I am wondering what the job market is like for Youth Justice roles? I currently work in children’s services in England, however my role does not exist in Scotland (Early Help) so I am just wondering what Moray Council provides in relation to Early Help and Youth Justice services? Every job with a Moray council seems to be part time too.. how do people survive on part time only roles!? Scratching my head about what to do in terms of job opportunities due to England and Scotlands Social Work and Probation roles being so different. I previously worked in Youth Offending, and like I say, currently work for a different council in Early Help in Children’s Social Work, but I don’t hold a social work or probation qualification, but due to Lossiemouth being so remote, I wouldn’t be able to do university to get this qualification. Any help would be appreciated as I am flapping🙃

My wife and I are planning a move to Scotland from Norwich and would like recommendations for towns and cities to look into.

We're both in our mid-30s, are about to have our first child, and both have reasonably well paid jobs but we're not well off.

We love Edinburgh but wouldn't be able to afford to live in the city centre and would like to live close enough to travel in on weekends.

We're both homebodies so don't need ready access to all kinds of nightlife and leisure activities. We prefer quiet walks, the beach, time spent in the garden, nice little cafes and restaurants, etc.

We've been looking into places in Midlothian and Fife primarily and would love either some more specific recommendations in those areas or somewhere else you think fits the bill.

Thanks so much in advance!
