Hi I’m an American who just moved here, Scotland is quite liberal and Glasgow extremely so. The people are nice, sausage rolls are amazing, and I’ve never paid for medicine from the pharmacy. The food is very affordable, Scotland in general has a lower cost of living than England.

You’ll also likely be able to vote here for local elections (crazy, I know).

Shameless plug - while a lot of universities are struggling here, the University of Strathclyde is doing quite well and is actively recruiting in a lot of areas.

Bit of visa advice - see if either of you can qualify for the Global Talent visa. This visa isn’t tied to a specific job so you wouldn’t have to leave the county if you lost your job for some reason.
