Just to clarify terminology - I've obviously been away too long! The public education system (ie free) is actually refered to as the state education system in Scotland, fee paying schools are refered to as independent schools and there are too types, public schools and private schools. The public schools are the really posh ones (where the upper and upper-middle classes go) though they are 'public' because the offer scholarships, private schools have a huge range of variety (& cost). When I said you would have no difficulty I was referring to the state system. Also there aren't semesters in Scotland, there are terms starting Ausgust, January and after Easter. Each term has a half term break.
