Healthcare in Scotland by Julien
Hi, how does the healthcare system work in Scotland ? Is it efficient ? What are the main differences between public and private sectors? Is it recommended to purchase private health insurance in Scotland? Thanks in advance for sharing ...

Hello Rohit, I just saw your post and thought I give you at least some answers: Public transportation in Glasgow and Edinburgh is very good, the more rural you get, the worse it gets of course :) Trains tend to be kind of expensive but from my ... Read More

Hello Angela, Sorry for my delay in answering you. We just came home from our trip today and it took me all afternoon to unload the car, wash, supermarket and putting things away. Almost done but I decided to do the rest tomorrow. I am very ... Read More

Hello Angela, Yes, I do have the same thing, sometimes the site tells me that you wrote a new reply and then, on other occassions I find out by coincidence! Well, it is very cold in the mornings and still freezing in the night but it is lovely to ... Read More

Hello Angela, I just saw your post (did not get an email saying so). Our week-end was briliant with lots of sun (the same today!). Again we walked Arthur's Seat. It was like spring with the birds singing. This morning we used the bike to go to ... Read More

Hello Angela, Thanks for your congrats, I appreciate it. I had a lovely birthday and today the sun was back again! North Berwick is a wee town approx. 30 minutes from here. I love it! Right at the sea side. I do agree that it is not easy to find ... Read More

Hello Angela, Sorry for my late response. I have been quite busy last week. I know that Morningside is a very good area, Royal Mile, too, Tollcross should be ok as well! There are no rankings actually but I can ask my friend about the schools next ... Read More

Hello Angela, The week-end was nice and the snow remains in small parts. Scotland is to become more of it today but I think Edinburgh is spared from that. We went to the cinema and saw "Les Mis茅rables". It was so very good! I always liked Hugh ... Read More

Hello Angela, How are you? I hope all is fine! Well, eventually we got some snow here in Edinburgh. It is nothing compared to what you have over there but also not so common for Edinburgh to have it last. My son loved it! I asked my friend and ... Read More

Hello Angela, Good to hear from you again. But Edinburgh and snow do not go together very well :). As it is at the very east and at the Forth, Edinburgh gets only a wee bit of snow if at all! Just 2 years ago they had some snow that lasted but other ... Read More
