What do expats find most challenging?

Answer this Question

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Scottish Borders. They wrote...

"Expats in Scottish Borders may find the local dialect and accents challenging to understand, as the region has a distinct linguistic style that can be difficult for non-natives to grasp. The weather can also be a challenge, as Scotland is known for its cold, rainy climate. The local cuisine, which includes dishes like haggis and black pudding, may be unfamiliar and unappealing to some expats. The pace of life in the Scottish Borders is slower than in many other places, which can be a difficult adjustment for those used to a faster, more hectic lifestyle. Additionally, the region's rural nature and relative isolation can be challenging for those who are used to living in more urban, cosmopolitan areas. Lastly, expats may find it challenging to integrate into the close-knit communities of the Scottish Borders, where families often have deep roots and long histories," remarked another expat in Scottish Borders, Scotland.
