    I'm not sure about changes, but don't move until you get a job secure.
    My sister and her husband wanted to move to Edinburgh (they live in London). They bought a really great flat just before the economy started going pear-shaped and then started looking for jobs...
    ... unfortunately nothing showed up for months and months, and they're now renting out the flat and staying in London.

    Scotland is a bit like England but colder and hairier.

    Depends where in Scotland to be honest, some bits are great, some not so. If you could narrow it down a little possibly?
    The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

    Sorry Fifer, I though I made that clear in the title. From England to Scotland. Laws are different there and many things are different from what I have gathered over the years, but never needed to fully understand.
