What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Stirling. They wrote...
"Expats in Stirling may find the local dialect and accents challenging to understand, as Scottish English can be quite distinct and different from standard English. The weather can also be a challenge, as it is often cold, rainy, and unpredictable. Some expats may find it difficult to adapt to the slower pace of life in Stirling compared to larger cities. The local cuisine, which includes traditional dishes like haggis, black pudding, and deep-fried Mars bars, may also be unfamiliar and unappealing to some. Additionally, the Scottish social etiquette, which can be quite reserved and indirect, may be confusing for expats from more straightforward cultures. Lastly, the cost of living can be high, particularly for housing, which may be a challenge for expats on a tight budget," said a member in Stirling, Scotland.
