I have lived in Scotland for over a year and have spent plenty of time travelling round the 'greatest small country in the world', the sign you are greeted with when you land at the airports. I know a fair amount about the central belt and bits about the north.

Q: I'm taking a year off from school next year, and I want to work/live in Scotland. ANY suggestions? I'm not entirely for sure where to even begin! Submitted By: heathermichelle on the 10th February 2007 A: It depends what you like. I personally would recommend Edinburgh as it is very welcoming and has plenty to do and is central and easy to get around with great links throughout Scotland wider afield. It is smaller than Glasgow and has more English people based there than in Glasgow, but has everything you could need. Glasgow is a fairly nice city, is bigger and fairly welcoming, but stay centrally as the areas are nicer. Aberdeen is much further north and a bit cut off, and very small but lovely if you like the countryside. Dundee is a similar size to Aberdeen but being further south is more accessible but still a far distance from the main central area of Scotland. Falkirk and areas close by are quieter and slightly smaller but excellently located for easy access to both Glasgow and Edinburgh (30 mins ish to each) and contains most things. Stirling is a bit further north than Falkirk and is pretty small but beautiful with a great history. Overall nearly 65% of people live in the Central Belt of Scotland, also nicknamed the M8 corridor, stretching as far up at Falkirk, and is a better bet, though definitely visit everywhere else as it’s a fantastic country. If you are looking for a good social life, then locate yourself in either Edinburgh or Glasgow, non-smoking bars and clubs opened till 4 or 5am and good connections home, especially Edinburgh, though Edinburgh is more expensive but personally nicer. Hope that helps. Please let me know if you want any more information – I can happily (or try to) answer any question Thanks Lindsey
