As part of #BoycottAmerica I have switched from my usual Pepsi to Irn Bru (which I have avoided for years)

And it's ... OK actually.

Just picked up that Scotland has a well-developed and sensible strategy for helping migrants integrate into Scottish society, possibly a factor in why we are not seeing the same sorts of criminality/terrorism that is occurring in England at the moment.

As a Scot-by-choice rather than by birth myself, this is further confirmation of why I feel so at home living in Scotland.

The Strategy - New Scots

Passing through London and everyone on the tube looks utterly miserable and I am far too hot! Does this means I have finished transitioning to being a #NewScot ???

Brava Scotland! Proud to be a #NewScot #GRAReform #GRA

@LauraKT I was happy on the bird cage. Then Brexit began, and the Fash were emboldened. Then the Muskrat arrived. I came here for refuge and to stop arguing with crazy people with more opinions than experience. I like it here. Looking in to the old place is like entering a flat roofed pub at 11am. #newscot #NewScotsAreWelcome #fbpe #gtto #nopasarán

#Introduction

Well, it's finally happening.

Six years after we first planned it we're moving to #Scotland!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

On Friday my transfer to lead the Scotland & Northern Ireland team was approved. In June, my daughter finishes her A Levels. And this summer we make the move.

Can't wait to be a #NewScot!

@rowenamonde it was magical, my first sighting of one of the amazing murals in Glasgow. Plus the extraordinary experience of marching with wonderful like minded folk. I’m a proud #NewScot moved here just over 3 years ago to rediscover my Scottish roots. 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙
@MMR86 @IndyRichard @RDHale
Had this very conversation today with friend, another new #NewScot! Love that everyone (or nearly everyone) says hello, good morning, good afternoon as you pass them. One of many reasons to love Scotland 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙
Photo is river path on my way home from shops, now have slightly longer chat with several people we have passed many times.
I suppose I should explain my last toot. I’m a Welsh mam and mam-gu living in Scotland. Love it up here, but hiraeth is a real thing. Watching that YouTube link after a glass or two might create a wee tear, but Scotland feels like home too, I’m not ready to return yet. Maybe when I retire. #WelshLearner #newscot
This article https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/sep/17/eu-citizens-feel-safer-in-scotland-than-in-england-report-says confirms what we found in a study for the RSE in 2010 on Asian immigrants. They said that the immigration police who deport us come from London, but the social workers who speak our language are from Scotland. #NewScot #indyref2
