I was always amazed at the size of everything when i moved to Canada from the UK 30 years ago. Houses/Kitchens and such were just monstrous in size. Life in North America is not that great to be honest, even though I have been very successful in life living in Canada. I just miss the closeness of small town UK, where you know everyone and see everyone at the local pub. Walking in the countryside with the dog, quick trips to the beach and such. Canada is such a vast place, with nothing to do. I am in Houston for work for 3 weeks and it is boring as heck. Hoping one day to move back to a more simple life of walking to the pub for lunch and rolling my groceries back home in my shopping trolley!!!! Enjoy yourselves over there, looks like a wonderful house and place to live a quiet life with less stress.

My maternal Scots grandparents live in Canada 3rd generation. The country is enormous. People actually travel the equivalent of London to Birmingham everyday to go work. It’s normal for them. The houses are very big also, usually made from wood and stone. In the suburbs, front and back gardens are large. I also have relatives in Australia and New Zealand, so I visit there also. The commonwealth is one big family. Australia is very hot in summer . Canada is very cold in winter both have a British temperament and lifestyle .

I appreciate your comments re Scotland, my wife’s Mom is from there and we love it there! Canada is a huge country and while you have not named where you live in Canada, the idea of boring is of course subjective. We live on the East Coast and have ready access to our Downtown (very walkable) with all kinds of restaurants and pubs to visit, theatre and other cultural activities. We have five universities in the local area so the community is quite diverse and better for it. Recreation means swimming / Paddle Boarding / Kayaking any time we want and literally 10minutes from the house. Of course, spending time on the water (Sailing / Motor Boats) are crazy popular as well. Gravel Riding / MTB re cycling is quite popular and multiple routes are readily available. I also ride Off Road Moto re Hare-scrambles / Enduro so if that is your cup of tea, there is a wonderful community here to pursue that realm of sport. Of course camping and hiking are readily available and quite popular as well. Winter means skating on the lakes and ponds and Alpine Skiing as well. The great outdoors may not be your cup of tea but give yourself another chance and get out there and live.

You are a lovely couple - I do hope you will be happy here - Scotland is beautiful and we do need folks like you X

The main big difference with England and Wales is offers aren’t legally binding until contracts are exchanged which usually happens months after the viewings, offers, surveys, utility searches, legal bits etc, This means sellers can cancel a sale for any reason up to exchange (so months the after the initial offer), including accepting a higher offer or just deciding not to move, and you loose everything if you are the buyer. It’s very stressful and silly. The Scottish and US process is much better!

@@SimpleScottishLiving i live in a tiny town called Benton, in Kennebec County, away from the maddening crowd! Lol! Summers in Maine are filled to capacity with tourists from everywhere! They congregate in the southern portion in and around the Portland area, and southern beaches. But, as nice as that is, there’s so much more to Maine. It’s actually very European in feel. Thats what I love about it. Where in Scotland did you find your home? And if I dare ask, was it really expensive? They have just announced that the nationwide price here is now $451,000! Yikes! My poor grandson can’t buy a house and he’s an electrician!

We live just south of Edinburgh. Our house was definitely far below that number thank goodness. I don’t know how people can afford to get on the property ladder anymore! We were priced out of the market for a long while as well but finally got our foot in the door at the start of COVID through sheer luck and our wonderful real estate agent.

Just watched your video, the house is beautiful, love the flooring in the bathroom and toilet. The lights are beautiful. I notice your door opens up to stairs, in fend-shui,to stop your money flowing out the door, put a wind chime ( I have a glass Angel) so that it drops down and separates the door and stair( I did this as we were always skint) worked a treat. Also put a couple of plant pots either side of ur front door with flowers in -even in winter ( winter flowering pansies) helps ur money to grow. But looking forward to the updates on your home. 😍
