Would be relocating to Paisley, Scotland. Anyone living there, would appreciate any feedback especially in terms of housing, social life, cost of living, diversity and the accent. Thanks

Paisley is a nice place with diverse culture. Rent is relatively affordable. Not sure of social activities cos Scotland generally no get plenty social activities. But the consolation is, it's close to Glasgow and there are other places like Braehead (Xcite) where you can get to take kids for fun activities like wall climbing, games, movies and the rest.

Cost of living is moderate.

You dey ask of accent lol. I hope your "azzent" isn't thick (kidding). Don't worry, ask if you no hear well, they won't take offence.

Housing - pretty economical ( £500 - £600 )for 3 bed

Social life - almost zero asides from UWS hostel parties and boring pubs

Diversity- ready to deal with “racist” locals

Accent - pretty thick if you’re new.

I don’t know of any in Glasgow but if you don’t mind hopping on a train to Aberdeen, Maryees Salon is very good. I’ve seen a few pictures on her insta.

I have learnt quite a lot from this thread and I'm interested in paying for/and learning certificate courses that can help me get side hustle jobs like work from home jobs without affecting the healthcare care that'd bring me to UK.


Will this plan not violate the terms of your visa? To the best of my knowledge you can only do a second job if that job is in the same occupation code as the one you are sponsored to do in the UK or the job is in ashortage occupation.

It's quite interesting to read that racist locals can be an issue in that part of scotland. I'm curious to know if this is peculiar to Paisley. I have always found the Scots and Irish to be the most accommodating of all four nations. Infact, Glaswegians are the most friendliest of all.

There's bound to be dredge of society everywhere, but I'm yet to have a single racist encounter in over 10years of living scotland. I experienced racism living in three cities in England over a period of 7years before relocating to scotland.

I do not want to put people off their destinations, on the back of racist experiences i had over a decade ago. I will not be specific on the city, but name the area the city falls under. I don't believe cities or towns are racist, individuals are and they are everywhere.

* A city in Kent on a bus journey.
* At check out at a supermarket in inner city London.
* On the tram in greater Manchester.
