We live in the Pacific Northwest, which is very close to the Scottish climate, and for many of us, the PNW (or Cascadia as we increasingly think of it) is Scotland West, as anyone who has ever visited Victoria BC can attest.

I'm actually doing more and more remote work in England and Scotland. We could go back to Vancouver or Victoria (we were up there about fifteen years ago) given my wife has Canadian ancestry; we have family here now who are getting old which keeps is settled here, but the thought of moving once they're gone is still very much there.
