Estate agents are reporting huge interest in properties in the highlands, mostly from people in England, as they seek to escape Boris Brexit Britain and adjust their lifestyles now they know they can work from home due to COVID.

Paying 10% over asking prices just to get deals done. Great to see these people bringing their wealth and talent to Scotland. They are all clearly aware of the prospect of independence and not fazed by it.

What’s attractive about moving to England in the current climate of Brexit and COVID?

The weather for a start.

I know to you ultra political types it sounds paltry but being actually able to plan things in advance and enjoy them is a big thing for us mere minions. Our weather has got worse in summer while England's has got better. I've just lived there for a year so I know what I'm on about in that regard.

The weather. Fair point.

Please list them for us all to see. I've lived in England for 6 years; it's the same as any part of Scotland but bigger, that's all.

You live on a **** Army base and are pampered rotten/never had to fend for yourself.
Talk to me When you've lived the Civvy life doon here.
