A question asked by Taus: What are some good Celtic/Gaelic names for a baby boy?
I’m wondering if anyone can suggest some good Scottish names for a baby boy. Nothing that’s too out of the ordinary. But something that’s nice on the ears and won’t end up with him getting bullied.

Question posed by Niamh: Cheap flights to Scotland in winter?
I’m planning on going to Scotland this year around Xmas/Hogmanay time. Since it’s winter, it’s usually the off-season but with the holidays prices are still not as cheap as I thought they’d be. Does anyone have any recommendations for websites with deals or cheap flights? My dates are flexible.
Oh yeah, I live in Phoenix, AZ.

Chosen answer:

Answer by Yankees34
as a matter of fact the holidays along with the summer months are the most expensive periods to travel. There is no secret website or anything to get cheaper tickets, just remember to purchase your tickets 8-12 weeks before departure to insure yourself the cheapest possible ticket, since its the holiday give yourself 8-16 weeks before departure start researching 16 weeks before see the pricing trends and buy when you think it will be the cheapest which should be around the 10-12 week mark.

Question by Saul: How do you move to and work in Scotland as a US citizen?
I want to move to Scotland and work for a year. How do you begin this process? I am also a US veteran who receives a pension each month. Will this be affected?

Most comprehensive answer:

Answer by Irv S
To work in a foreign country, you need a ‘work’ visa,
(different from the more common ‘tourist’ or ‘student’ visa),
which must be applied for from their consulate.
Sorry, don’t know for sure about the pension.
