And you can have one for free when you move to the Scottish Borders.

I cross North Uist of my potential forever place then. The cousins of cousins thing goes on here as well, I'm only half local (long story) but live on a farm where the farmer and his family and his farm workers knows everyone so have been welcomed very warmly, I think our 'job' helps as well. We foster (respite care) 4 children with severe and complex needs, (its a great job,

).
