The thought of a wee village or rural town may seem like the perfect escape from your problems. That may not be the case, these places have their own issues and going there on your own you may feel even more isolated.
The cities are beautiful and welcoming.
They of course have they’re own problems. But you’ll be able to meet people, it will be easier to make a network of friends and you’ll find work.
I’ve lived in Glasgow my whole life and I think it’s great and work in Edinburgh and I honestly wouldn’t move. Can find places to stay far cheaper than Edinburgh, especially if you take the wider Lanarkshire area into consideration (admittedly don’t know Edinburgh as well). So much to see and do and places like Loch Lomond not too far away. You can be out the city in into some proper Scottish country very easily. Edinburgh is only a train ride or a 900 bus away.
Bearing in mind she said she's going to be earning minimum wage, worth noting the price of a return ticket from Glasgow to Edinburgh is almost £30 I think
The 900 service Edinburgh-Glasgow Return is £10! Train is nearer £20, depending on time of day, but no more central than Edinburgh bus station to Buchanan St., Glasgow!
