How do I meet people in Scotland?
When we asked people living in Scotland about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"American Women Of Aberdeen... The organization started out just for Americans, but the group has grown to members from France, Norway, Germany and quite a few other countries. The group has individual groups that meet for stichery,scrapbooking, hiking, side trips, and more," remarked another expat who made the move to Aberdeen, Scotland.
"If you have children, the local primary & secondary school is a great place to meet other parents. Just as in the states, there is a Parent Teacher Association (PTA) that meets regularly. American Women in Aberdeen is also a social/support club that meets in Aberdeen. Aberdeen is approximately 20 minutes from Banchory. Aberdeenshire Council has also been very helpful in providing information on extracurricular activities for children living in the area. Banchory is home to many expats & the locals are very friendly & welcoming," explained one expat living in Banchory, Scotland.
