We're a software developer and a novelist, expats from 2007 to 2012, when we lived in Scotland. We've since returned to California, with visits to Scotland and other places we might like to retire (Iceland, Norway, Chile).
I joined expat.com on 22 July 2008.
Lived in Glasgow for the first 4 years. Now moved to Stirling, after finishing at Glasgow Uni.
Glasgow has lots of good museums and can be beautiful. Stirling is a lot quieter, and has the castle!
Glasgow is noisy and rather filthy. Stirling is a bit on the "wee" side, and we haven't found as good of a choir yet.
