Got thrown and landed on top of my head-so the neck work before the session came in handy!

Thanks Jaunty, enjoying gardening leave at the moment, came just in time for the school summer holidays.

Yes we are considering a move to the highlands, we could live pretty much mortgage free, with a bigger house & a bit of land. Family are on board, so just need to work out the minor details like selling the house here, buying a house there, getting a job and sorting schools!
 
My family moved gradually North over the years, and are now in the Borders area. They live in one of the cheaper towns but the difference in prices in staggering. My parents have a very nice and pretty big bungalow right on the top of a hill looking over a valley. Big piece of land- front garden with a reasonably big drive that could fit five or so cars, back garden probably half a football pitch and even a small mini-forest down one side which must have 20-30 trees. All the rooms on one side of the house have huge windows so they have a great view of the valley. Now it's not cheap... it's probably still close to half a million, but I think even in Yorkshire it would be twice that- the land alone is enough for 3-4 houses with more normal space. And at the other end of the scale, my sister got a nice little terrace house with two beds and a small front yard and slightly bigger back yard for 75k seven or eight years ago, just 5 minutes from the High School and 5-10 minutes from the center of town. That's cheeeeaaap.

Anything that calls you to the Highlands in particular? You're pretty remote up there. The borders also feels very natural and far from everything, but it's 90 minutes to Edinburgh, Newcastle and Carlisle.

That all sounds great Jaunty. I have family in the Highlands and already visit often, to the point it feels like a home away from home. I like the slower pace of life, less people and of course the scenery is beautiful. There's other factors as well, University is free (for the time being anyway) so that's something to consider for when my boys are of age.

Again, at the moment it's just an idea, but something my girlfriend and kids are onboard with, and with the redundancy, seems like a good opportunity in life to do something different.

Well, if you have prior connections to the Highlands it makes complete sense.

Another benefit from being in rural areas of Scotland seems to be insane NHS coverage. My parents tell me that they can get to see any type of specialist/consultant inside of a week... IIRC in London you were usually waiting a couple of months to see a specialist if it wasn't obviously life threatening. Would assume that the Highlands are the same.
