Hello everyone it’s me again, the american teenage girl wanting to get further education in Scotland. My top choice right is Nescol, I’m applying for their sound&music course and I currently don’t have any immigration status in scotland/the entire uk. So I’m not exactly sure how to answer the question about my immigration status. I checked it out and Nescol is an approved student sponsor so what i did for the question about my visa was I picked “other visa not listed” and said “I currently do not have a visa and if accepted i would then get a student visa” or should I have just selected “student visa” if that’s something i could have in the future?

I know it's a weird question but how racist the Scottish against Muslims would I be hit with something if I'm walking in the street or something like that ??

Going to Inverness mid December for a wedding, decided to make a trip out of it. I'm more than used to hiking in cold and wet snow, just wanted to know if road closures are broadly common or if parks shut down for winter or any useful tips like that. Any hiking trails in particular I need to see? I plan on trekking around Inverness and isle of sky over the course of a week or so

Replacing the gas boiler soon, and I'm torn between that, and the lower carbon footprint of an air source heat pump.

Was it a PITA to have installed?
Did you need to replace all your radiators?
Is your house warm enough?
Hot water ok?
Running costs versus a boiler?
These are my main concerns.

Heard a lot of comments that Scotland is too cold for the pump, but these things are commonplace in Scandinavia, so that's obviously not true.

Did anyone else used to watch the snowman as a kid and be certain the scene of them all dancing was them having a ceilidh?

Obviously the snowman jigging about in a kilt added to this belief, but I remember as a kid being wildy impressed by this amazing representation of ceilidh dancing.

Was I alone in these thoughts?

Hi there, hopefully someone can help with some answers:

I was doing a family tree of my own and my grandpa, who's been gone for some years before I was born, apparently came from a town called Annethill (or perhaps Aungtil) in 1918, and the town may have been absorbed into Glasgow. He moved to Canada (specifically a small town in the BC interior region).

I'm just wondering more information on the town, if it still exists, or what it was like.

Thanks in advance!

I’m about to go to Florida over Christmas, and I’m looking to see if there’s any chance someone is going and coming back in December to tell me what the weather is like. My friend says it’s Baltic but it’s 26 degrees during the day. I need a Scottish person to tell me how it is - they’re the only ones I’ll trust.

A long shot but might as well ask

Greetings r/Scotland. Dumb American (one of the good ones though, I didn't vote for the dickhead) coming with a question.

I ordered some books from a used bookshop, and this little bookmark was tucked into one. Some elementary googling has shown me that this is a bit like our national park service. My question is...how old is this bookmark? The books I ordered were printed in the early 80s. I was wondering, perhaps, if anybody knows when the Trust was at that address? Because it doesn't appear to be anymore.

Hi, has anyone had an adult ADHD assessment at Purple House in Glasgow? I have my initial screening appointment in a couple of weeks and can't find many reviews on them online. Can anyone let me know what happens at the appointment as I'm not sure what to expect, thanks

I never owned a credit card nor I intend to and as a result I have a low credit score and has been a cause of not being chosen as a tenant for properties I have applied for (no smoking, no pets, no addictions, no convictions or asbos) is there anything I can do to increase my credit score without having a credit card? Isn't it ridiculous that it's a system used to rate possible tenants considering people like me have never had debts nor risk to be in debt?

We did the NC500 a couple of years ago, and encountered 3 of them. All were very pleasant but seemed a bit tightly wound ... perhaps because I was driving a huge American RV and they were worried we'd do something daft and get it stuck and cause a traffic jam. One admitted they were tracking us and sharing progress notes on WhatsApp.

Also, all 3 were young lads from the south of England - no women, no older people, no locals. Is it like an internship or something?

Hey everyone Im an international student living in england right now and i wanted to go travel a bit. I thought of scotland but i wanted to see if i could enjoy it on a budget. I love hiking,walking and just trying new foods etc the basic stuff so any recommendations on what to do/not to do would be a great help.

Thankyou for taking your time in reading this.

Edit: thankyou everyone for the suggestions ill start prepping for my summer trip since it seems the best times to enjoy the country. Most likely will go camping arround places and just hiking
