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 Fort William. They wrote...

"Expats in Fort William 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 can be quite cold, rainy, and unpredictable. The pace of life in Fort William is slower than in larger cities, which can be a difficult adjustment for some. The local cuisine, which includes traditional dishes like haggis and black pudding, may also be unfamiliar and unappealing to some expats. Additionally, the relative remoteness and lack of diversity in Fort William compared to larger cities may be challenging for some expats. Lastly, the Scottish culture is deeply rooted in traditions and customs that may be unfamiliar to expats, which could lead to feelings of isolation or misunderstanding," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Fort William, Scotland.
