What should I pack when moving to Scotland?
We asked people living in Scotland to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Scotland, it is important to pack warm clothing, as the climate is generally cooler than other parts of the UK. Pack a variety of layers, such as sweaters, jackets, and scarves, to ensure you stay warm. Rain gear is also essential, as Scotland is known for its wet weather. Additionally, pack comfortable shoes for walking, as Scotland is home to many beautiful trails and landscapes. Finally, don't forget to bring an umbrella and a waterproof coat," said another expat in Scotland.
