I really wanto work and live in Scotland or Ireland. I work in the Hospitality industry as a Spa Director. I guess now Its very hard for an American to get out of the U.S. (trust me I want to get out of here) Any advice as to how I can obtain A work permit? And of course find me a Scottish husband? =) Thanks guys!
Have you ever been to Scotland or Ireland on holiday before you choose to live there. I am Scottish but now live in London. Scotland is not a town, it is a country. OK it might not be huge but the difference between being in a remote island village and being in Govan in Glasgow couldn’t be bigger. Do you want to live in a city – Aberdeen (oil), Dundee (less well off), Edinburgh (affluent), Glasgow (mixed), Inverness (rural)? Or do you want to live in the countryside (farmers, no public transport, no shops etc.). I don’t know where you are from but the summers in Scotland usually consist of a month where the sun comes out and a lot of rain. In the winter, there’s more rain and some snow. Scottish people generally like Americans but the same as a Scottish person can’t just go and live in America the same is true the other way round. You usually have to have a skill that they can’t fill here. Most Americans I know in Aberdeen came over because of the oil industry from Texas. Scottish men are great (I married an Englishman) but they do like their drink and their football! They will also spend a lot of time discussing the weather and where you can buy something cheaper. I suggest you book a holiday and do a tour of Scotland to see what area you like and don’t do it in the summer so you can see what it’s really like.

My advice to you is research the type of place you would like to live. In a city or small town? Then go on a weekend holiday or vacation to it. You may be in for a shock as not everyone in scotland plays bagpipes and wears kilts.

I think it would help if you got a job offer over here first. I think that would tip the balance in your favour!
I don’t know why you guys can’t just come and work here without a visa as we are all pretty much related. (In a culture and heritage sense)
Good luck! Hope it all works out for you.

Scotland is a place of wonderful scenery, historical significance and fabulous, friendly people (in most places!) Although it is the closest city to where I live, I would advise you to avoid Glasgow at all costs. Go either for Edinburgh or rural Argyll. Have a look at the two links I’ve included below for you.
