Congratulations - your luck has turned. 
I did my post grad year in Scotland and spent many weekends over on the West Coast, it is so beautiful and rugged. Hope you dont mind the rain!!

Re: OMFG!! OH got the job!! We're Going to Scotland!!
I spent about 4months in Glasgow during Autumn/early winter, so I remember the rain well. We've traveled around to a few places, and I have yet to see a place I didn't like. I've never lived near enough to a beach, so that definitely sounds lovely! It won't be like a beach in Florida, of course, but I don't like that heat/humidity anyways!

I'm am now so sick with jealousy I could spit! I have a brother, who I haven't seen for 5 years, in Edinburgh and one of my oldest friends lives in Glasgow. You will love it.

The beach on the west coast of the Isle of Skye is really like a caribbean beach - I wish I had the pics - white sand and clear blue water (on a warm summer day of course) just stunning.

My parents were from Ayrshire (New Cumnock) so I spent lots of time during the summer in Ayr, it's a lovely place.

Got to hand it to the residents of Cumbernauld for nominating their own town for demolition 5 years ago.

To be fair, the statement is probably still true as the views from some of those 60s tower blocks are spectacular.

But yes - spectacular views from inside the tower blocks I'm sure!

Thanks for the congrats everyone!
We are still nervously awaiting the official written offer though. Just hope I wasn't premature in saying anything here!
