Moving to or from Scotland?
Let M&G Do the Heavy Lifting (Before the M8 Junction Sends You Round in Circles)
Welcome to Scotland — the land of lochs and legends, where castles crown highlands and the M8 keeps Glasgow and Edinburgh firmly connected. With just over 5.4 million residents who know the shortcut past Arthur’s Seat better than any sat‑nav, Scotland blends rugged landscapes with vibrant city life.
Schools That Actually Impress
Edinburgh Academy, Glasgow High School, and Fettes College (the independent heavyweight) all carry strong reputations. Translation: your kids will get a solid education, and you’ll have plenty of parents comparing exam results at the school gates.
Economy With a Balance
Scotland’s economy mixes finance, oil & gas, whisky, and tourism with growing tech and service hubs in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Add in commuters heading across the Central Belt, and you’ve got a nation that’s practical, connected, and quietly thriving.
Things to Do (Besides Timing the M8 Traffic)
Edinburgh Castle – history perched above the capital.
Loch Ness – iconic waters, legends, and landscapes.
Local favourites – Scotch whisky tours, Celtic or Rangers for matchday buzz, and highland walks for fresh air and photo ops.
