If you’re adventurous, Scotland is calling your name. And I’m not just talking about Edinburgh or Glasgow. I mean places like Dundee or Greenock.
Dundee is a small city with a cool vibe, decent tech jobs, and house prices around £130,000. You get lochs, hills, and friendly locals. Just pack a waterproof coat. Always.
Greenock is even cheaper—think £80,000 for a whole house. Yes, you read that right. You could own a place for the price of a deposit down south. The weather is a bit brutal, but you’ll save so much money you can afford a holiday to somewhere sunny.
Oh, and there’s Glasgow. It’s bigger, busier, but still way cheaper than anywhere near London. Rent is about 40% lower. Plus, the accent is a delight. Just don’t try to understand everything on the first day.
