I wish I'd found InterNations sooner: It would have made my first few month as an expat in London much less overwhelming.
Welcome to the Glasgow Expat Community!
A warm Weegie welcome to our expatriate community here in Glasgow! Scotland's largest city has a reputation for cordiality, and was voted the friendliest city in the world by Rough Guides. In keeping with that, you'll find that our expat community here is just as welcoming, and free to help you with any questions you may have about life in Glasgow. Whether your query is about deciding whether to move to Bearsden or Finnieston, where the best places to go out in the Merchant City are, or whether you're eligible to take advantage of Scotland's free medical care and education, our community will be happy to answer any of your questions and make sure your transition to living in Glasgow is a smooth one.

Live in One of Europe's Best-Kept Secrets
It's not just the friendliness of its locals that Glasgow has to offer. Lonely Planet voted the city among the best in the world; the only British city to make the top ten. Extensive regeneration has taken place to deliver world-class cuisine and a cornucopia of arts and music venues, without sacrificing affordability or original culture to do so.
Take Advantage of Our Local Expat Community in Glasgow
The carefully approved members of our Glasgow expat network are here to help you consider your move or settle in — they're here regardless of what stage your move is at.
