I thought us lot darn Sarf should start buying student flats in anticipation of kids hitting University ages. Yep I said the girls could go to university where they like do long as it's on scotland! Seriously though only one in 20 Scottish applicants get offered place at St. Andrews. Luckily a neighbour and friend bought a flat for his kids when they were at St. Andrews so she will probably rent that then it seems like the money is going to a good cause they are really good friends of mine and we are godparents to their kids.

Kes Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I see you live in D&G - all free for your daughter - sadly us down saarf still have to pay to go to Uni north of the border but St A's is worth it. There is one place where it is rumoured that if you stand in the spot before your final year you will fail - so get to know where it is before accidents happen !!!! The shore is mostly used for parties I gather rather than fishing ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
