If you do visit, you must remember that it is not the same as living up there we had visitors who loved the area, but living up there on a permenant status is entirely different.
I was posted up there mid 80s, career posting they called it when I tried to fight it for personal reasons. As a family we were pleased when, after 12 months, I was promoted and managed to swap postings with a guy who wanted to stay there.
For those who do not like to get hot, enjoy cold, wind and rain, dark days and light nights then this is the place for you, 15c is a nice summers day and it will still have a cooling breeze, and of course you should ignore the anti English that you will meet, they see it as you are taking Scottish jobs !!
It may have all changed since then, but it still is not one of the most popular postings left and if you put that as your first choice, or any choice then I would say that it is virtually guaranteed.
