Scotland: Thinking of Moving to Scotland:

It is not just the Brexit issue that is in play here. I've just returned from three months in Aberdeenshire. With Scotland it is more the independence issue tan Brexit. Scotland almost unanimously voted to stay in the EU and is working to stay on the EU despite the rest of the UK. Northern Ireland and Yorkshire also wished to remain. Follow Nicola Sturgeon to keep abreast of this. She is pro immigration.

Scotland: Choices:

I truly hope this does not sound specious, but I am actively seeking answers that will facilitate my moving to Scotland. I am engaged to an older man from Aberdeenshire who is currently on disability. I am retired and disabled and do receive Social Security/Medicare and have some personal assets, albeit not what anyone would consider well off. I have read through all the visa requirements, which was mind numbing and somewhat disheartening. Is there any hope that the UK would grant a spousal visa when he is on the public funding rosters and I would be the 'monied' person? Would I be allowed to enter the IK as an expat retiree with limited finds or is the amount required for a retiree more than what a person would receive through Social Security? We toyed with the idea of my coming each year for 6 months and then leaving again but that means two residences. And UK disability does not follow a UK citizen here like our SS system provides for travel. Any help or suggestions would be most welcome. And yes, we do know each other and yes, I have been to Scotland and will be returning for a two month visit this late spring. We are just two older people who want to be with each other for the rest of our lives. I should also mention, I am legally blind. I do travel alone and have the wherewithal to get around if I know what infrastructure is in place.
