A must-have for all confirmed Scotophiles,
By A Customer
This review is from: Live and Work in Scotland (Live & Work) (Paperback)
A tremendously detailed and comprehensive collection of facts about moving to Scotland. Without doubt, Scotland (especially the Highlands) is seen as a 'sexy' place to live and Nicola Taylor, having moved there herself some seven years ago, has invaluable knowledge and experience to pass on to those wishing to make the move.The impressively researched book is brought to life by personal observation and a number of case-studies of people who have all moved to this newly-resurgent part of the UK and survived the process to revel in a new lifestyle. The differences between life in Scotland and the rest of the UK are both surprising and, on the evidence of the case-studies, alluring.

This was a good book when it was published. Laws and regulations change a lot. Beware! Certain important things are not as written in this book any more.

Good read,
By jade22192 "jade22192" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Live & Work in Scotland (Live & Work in Scotland) (Live & Work in Scotland) (Paperback)
Very comprehensive guide to relocating to Scotland. It is disappointing that it is so hard to get into the U.K. to work and experience a different kind of life - unless you are highly educated, sponsored by a company that wants to hire you, or rich. It is still a good read, and the writing is very easy to follow.

Not much help,
By Jan "California Foodie" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Live & Work in Scotland (Live & Work in Scotland) (Live & Work in Scotland) (Paperback)
For me, this book did not offer much information. It seems to be outdated and too broad of coverage.

Live & Work In Scotland by Nicola Taylor,
By Steven M. Krause "svensvane" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Live & Work in Scotland (Live & Work in Scotland) (Live & Work in Scotland) (Paperback)
After five trips to Scotland and a desire to move there, I purchased this book along with Nicola's book, Buying A House In Scotland. Both books are very informative and interestingly written. Nicola Taylor moved to Scotland with her husband after visiting from England. One would think that it shouldn't be much different, but there are cultural and financial differences as spelled out in the book. This book helped me although I stopped short of moving permanently due to personal involvements and not enough money. If you have plans to live and work in Scotland, I would purchase this book first as well as visiting many times to see if you really like the country.
