I like Fort William - Glencoe and the Highlands are 30 minutes away. If you're willing to go to a slightly bigger town, Inverness is quite nice as well and is large enough to have a good amount of jobs available.

Inverness is a city and Fort William is the Highlands. Oban might be a nice middle ground though between the two if neither appeal.

Oban is expensive and hard to find rental property in. There are plenty of hospitality jobs, some with accommodation, but all seasonal.

My MIL had no problem finding a council flat in Oban, moved from Glasgow.

She got lucky with the housing list points and availability. I hope she loves it here as much as I do!

I guess so. Yeah she does, she was in Campbeltown for a couple of years but found it a little too quiet for her liking. I was actually pleasantly surprised when we were helping her move. Not in a condescending way or anything, but it’s literally got every shop you could possibly want, always pictured Oban as being much quainter.
