I need the following teo phrases translated into Scottish Gaelic:
"What is that sound?"
"Oh, who is that!!"
We are seriously looking into my husband and I getting work visas to move our family to Scotland. If we have work visas, can a 15-yr-old son work in Scotland?
Hi all! I'm an American that has decided I no longer feel safe in my country. I am mostly Scottish, DNA wise, and thought maybe I'd look into go back to my roots. I am looking to leave the United States, and wanted some input on what it's like living it Scotland, from people who actually live there. Please be kind. I do not align with the current state my country is in. I am just a scared mom, looking for a better life. Some topics I'd like input on...
What is the cost of living like? Employment? Is finding a job hard? Or are jobs plentiful? Healthcare system? Is it universal? Pros and cons to living in certain areas like Edinburgh? Can you make recommendations on good places to live? Etiquette I may need to know? Education system?
I'm from Florida so I am used to hot. I'm also used to having air conditioning so I am worried about that. I have hormone issues and tend to run hot so the thought of not having air conditioning is bothersome, and I know a lot of Europe its not customary to have air conditioning like we have here in the states. But I also know it gets much colder than I'm used to here in Florida.
Also, I'm more of a city girl so I'm afraid i wouldn't fare well in the country, and would prefer to be near water/ocean, since after all, I am from Florida and used to having water activities and beaches.
Thank you for your time on advance.
TLDR: do you work in an interesting/fun sector that you’d recommend? Where to find these jobs advertised?
I’m looking for advice/inspiration for jobs in project management.
Currently I’m in the NHS but looking for something a bit more interesting and social - perhaps events, tourism, hospitality etc. Emphasis on the fun and social as I’ve slightly struggled feeling isolated with work from home for many years and being on mat leave.
Where might be the best place to find jobs for these sectors advertised? I’ve had not much luck on the usual places like Indeed etc. Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated! Thanks.
Friend cancelled. 1 ticket available. W12. Message if interested
Are there any heated lidos in Edinburgh (or on accessible outskirts) for year round swimming? I love to swim outdoors in the winter but can’t quite handle wild/cold water swimming.
Failing that, any good indoor pool recs? Some can be so grimy and I do have OCD so I can only deal with so much before I panic! Outside grime I’m much better with oddly.
Please be nice and thanks in advance! :)

What's happend to this generation in scotland what happend to the neds lacoste trackys bergaus fags, now all you get is wee guys in Nike trackys and balaclavas thinking there gangsters from London smoking vapes carrying knives thinking there cool bring back the days of the young team am sure theres still a "young team" out there somewhere lol
Sounds ridiculous but hear me out:
Half English half American and half Irish with roots going back to Genghis Khan and lived down south for a bit. I'm qualified and I interview well (by employer's own admission) but I was always turned down for not "being the right fit".
So I decided to fake a Scottish accent just to see if that would change anything. Would you believe it! One interview and a job offer that day at 5pm lol. My girlfriend (from Glasgow) says Scots can be petty about perceived 'Englishness' and 'Mongolian-ess', and it may have put them off me. I'm starting to wonder now!
Thankfully it was a Microsoft Teams interview so if they query me in person I'll just say it must've been the poor Internet connection.
Just wanted to share my fun times in your lovely country. I'm not mad lol, just a bit baffled.
As an European living in the UK, I can't help but feel anxious about Donald Trump becoming president again. This isn't just an American issue; it impacts us all. Platforms like X are now rife with conspiracy theories and hard-right propaganda, and it feels like there's no platform or politician capable of challenging him effectively.
One of my biggest concerns is Trump's relationship with Putin. Trump has made it clear that he's not particularly interested in NATO, which could embolden Russia to take more aggressive actions in the future. The idea of Trump cozying up to Putin is unsettling, especially given the current geopolitical climate.
Additionally, Trump's stance on climate change is deeply troubling. He has consistently denied the science behind climate change and rolled back environmental protections during his previous term. This lack of commitment to addressing climate change poses a significant threat to our planet's future. The urgency of the climate crisis requires global cooperation and leadership, and Trump's approach could hinder progress on this critical issue.
Anyone else feeling anxious about the future?
