Question Looking for recommendations - laser hair removal for male presenting people

0 Upvotes

I'm looking to get laser hair removal done, neck down. i suffer quite badly with folliculitis tried a ton of things over the years and nothing reliably works.

However it seems laser hair removal is a virtually permanent solution to the issue. Im sick of dealing with the flare ups quite honestly :-( as they can happen anywhere and they can happen out of the blue, it's painful,.take an age to heal and at times leave scarring :-(

I have it under control at the moment, Based near Dundee but I can travel, any recommendations?

Just want some relief from this

Thanks in advance :-)

Question US Nurse (RN) looking to immigrate to Scotland

0 Upvotes

I am a registered nurse in the United States with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). I have 2 years of experience working in the Newborn ICU (NICU). I am wanting to move out of the country and loved Scotland when I visited.
My questions is : how difficult is it transfer my license and experience over to the UK, particularly Scotland? I assume the nursing shortage also exists across the pond. I want to remain in the NICU which I assume may be a more difficult specialty to get into than others, however I have2 years experience on the highest acuity level NICU in the US.
Any tips, suggestions, or experiences anyone could share on how to make the move?

Question Could I be eligible for SAAS in Sept 2027?

0 Upvotes

I have been living in England since 2022. I moved to Scotland for University in September 2026 and I was classified as Rest of UK fees. I do not have a British passport but I have limited leave to remain visa.

Now I got a transfer from England to here for my work. They said I would not be able to transfer back to England during Christmas Holidays or any other breaks. This means I am going to stay in Scotland during my christmas breaks, easter breaks and even summer. Therefore I am not returning back to England anymore.

So apart from studying at University I am going to be staying in Scotland either way. Would I be eligible for funding for living costs (such as my accommodation costs, food, etc) if I apply for SAAS for my second year as I am making Scotland my home now and not returning back to England?

Also I do not receive any other funding currently.

Question Inverness Activities

0 Upvotes

Hi All!

My husband & I will be in Inverness for 3 days for our anniversary next week. We already have a full day tour scheduled to visit Isle of Skye & Eilean Donan Castle. We have one full day still open (our actual anniversary) and I can't find anything to do that's not another day tour or doesn't overlap. The first leg of our trip is 4 days in Edinburgh, so that's not an option. We'll be staying at Glen Mhor.

Activity recommendations and dinner recommendations please? Also, where can I visit highland cows?! 🥹

Thank you!

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

We’re a group of University of Edinburgh students working in affiliation with the Buchanan Institute, a student-run think tank. We’re researching Scotland’s council tax, in particular the single person discount, and would really value views from across Scotland, not just students.

• Takes 3-5 minutes
• Completely anonymous
• Open to anyone 18+ living in Scotland

👉 Council Tax - Survey

The results will feed into a policy proposal we’ll present to policymakers. Happy to answer questions in the comments, and thank you if you take part!

Best macaroni pie?

43 Upvotes

Hello fellow carb-lovers!

I am on the hunt for the very best Macaroni Pie. My current leader is from Mhor bakery in Callander (belter bakers by the way), but a Baynes is still a solid and easy to find option.

Big thoughts and prayers for the old, now retired, macaroni pie from Ashers bakery in the highlands. Gone but not forgotten.

Any suggestions and recommendations appreciated. I am macaroni pie daft.

A Visit to Stirling's Beheading Stone

Post image
• Upvotes

The stone stands atop "Mote Hill" or the more appropriately named "The Heading Hill," a spot where an ancient Pictish Fort once stood. Over time, this area became the place where King James I would have his enemies dispatched. Beheadings were specifically reserved for individuals found guilty of committing treason. Most notably was that of Murdoch, Duke of Albany in 1425, the grandson of King Robert II, founder of the Stewart Dynasty.
