I met a boy/man who lived in a house built by the Glenfiddich distillery. He also worked there for two years. I found it very interesting that the company built houses for employees at some point and now they are still lived in. I don't think you need to be an employee to live there though.
I feel much more inclined to get involved in school things here than I did at NYU. There might be multiple reasons for this: 1) there isn't really anything else to do, 2) I'm used to being super busy and I'm not here yet, so school things is a solution, 3) I'm more interested in the school opportunities, like Scottish barn dancing, or 4) I'm trying to have the "college experience" that I didn't get at NYU. In addition to joining the Scottish Dance Society, I just emailed the school paper saying that I'd like to write for their arts section (they were advertising for arts writers and I think I qualify).
In Scotland you can go from high school (or their equivelant) directly into studying for your law degree, which will only take you 5 years of school and then a year or two of working as a "trainee" in a law firm/company.
Lawyers dress well, and since a lot of them are young, they are attractive. I like when men wear suits.
People here don't ask what your parents do. They don't seem to care. Which is good, because that shocked stare is really annoying.
Anyway... off to the dancing!
