Dear African Brother/Sister,
Welcome to Scotland – a land of breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture! As you embark on your journey in this remarkable country, prepare to be enchanted by its unique charm and warmth.
Scotland is known for its unpredictable weather, where you can experience all four seasons in just one day. From sunny mornings to windy afternoons and rainy evenings, the ever-changing weather adds an element of excitement to daily life.
As you explore Scotland, you’ll encounter charming Scottish slang words like “wee,” meaning small or little. Don’t be surprised if you hear locals referring to a “wee dram” (a small drink) or suggesting a visit to a “wee village” (a small town).
But what truly sets Scotland apart is its people – known for their friendliness, hospitality, and welcoming nature. You’ll find yourself embraced by warm smiles and genuine kindness wherever you go.
In addition to its natural beauty and friendly locals, Scotland offers a wealth of experiences that may resonate with Africans. From the vibrant multicultural communities in cities like Glasgow and Edinburgh to the rich African heritage celebrated in festivals and events, there’s a sense of connection and belonging waiting to be discovered.
"Discover Scotland's charm, from unpredictable weather to warm hospitality, as you embark on a journey filled with breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, and endless adventures.
Welcome to your new home away from home! 
#ScotlandWelcomesYou"
Explore the limited African markets offering a taste of home, savor the flavors of traditional Scottish cuisine with a twist of African influence, and immerse yourself in cultural celebrations that bridge the gap between continents.
Whether you’re drawn to the historic castles, picturesque landscapes, the kelpies or dynamic urban scenes, Scotland welcomes you with open arms and endless opportunities for adventure and discovery.
Now, a friendly reminder: in Scotland, there’s no such thing as “African time.” Whether you’re catching a train, attending a meeting, or joining a social event, punctuality is key. Scots are known for their adherence to schedules and timetables, so be sure to arrive on time to avoid stories that touch the heart.
Scotland’s climate is significantly different from many regions in Africa. The country experiences high humidity and frequent rainfall, creating conditions where mould can easily thrive. Mould can damage a wide variety of items, including clothing, shoes, books, and electronic devices. To protect your belongings, it’s important not to hide items that could be damaged by mould, most especially in damp or poorly ventilated areas in the house such as basements, closets, or under beds.
Embrace the diversity, embrace the spirit of Scotland, and embark on a journey that will leave you enchanted, inspired, and forever changed.
Welcome to Scotland – your new home away from home.
Warm regards
