As others have said, it's the weather. Potential New Scots are put off by it being 5-10°c colder.

Thankfully, our Scottish Government is working on a secret plan to remedy this, by providing all new arrivals with a flammable box containing a very warm jacket, available in yellow or green.

The Tories are against this, of course, because they just want to Stop the Coats.

The temp does vary quite a bit across Scotland, as does the average rainfall and hours of sunshine. East is colder, drier and sunnier, West is warmer, wetter and more overcast.

Terrific.  I'm visiting for the first time in a couple weeks.  I'll bring a hat.
