I just found you ❤

You two are absolutely hilarious. Your observations on differences in the 2 countries are spot on. Having to do grocery shopping every other day is a slog but they do have MUCH better quality of goods, so it’s a trade off. Your story about the guy doing artwork was so funny. I can see you two have a wonderful relationship. It’s fun to watch you.

Can I ask what watch do you have is it a garmin? Random question I know but I love the look of it

West Coast here, yeah the midges are predominantly outdoors, and rarely really come indoors unless you bring them in within your hair or clothes, they are attracted by your breath so there are not really many hiding places.

Jesus you two are way too happy and chipper

Both my parents are from the west coast of Scotland, where most of my family is still. My uncle and his family lived in Edinburgh and so did a cousin from the other side of my family and all loved it. My husband and our family moved to London for a while. You’re going to love it!! There is so much outdoor activities and places to visit in Scotland. Take advantage of the cheap airfares to different places as much as you can. The train system there is phenomenal. I am looking forward to following you journey. Good luck.

In the UK you are not allowed to have plugs close to the water source as well you shouldn’t have light switches in the bathroom because of the humidity. Carpets is something that in a lot of places as been added in earlier times but yes it’s comfort based.

So pleased your happy over here, Zach you have lost your Scottish accent.

I'm from Edinburgh. I've been in America for 23 years and I still speak in a Scottish accent as strong as it was when I arrived, yet Zack sounds very American in half that time!

Ha ha this is killing me. Doors normally go to the wall, when I look at yours I think they are hung wrong.

Oh the midges will come in as a west coaster. Never leave your window open and lights on 😮 black ceiling that you will be hoovering 😅

I live in NH in the US and have almost always line dried my clothes outside on a line or on a line and racks in front of the wood stove. I do live in an off grid solar home so do not own a dryer and probably wouldn’t use it. I think people are much more wasteful in the US of our resources. The cost I assume is less so people are less inclined to conserve. I really enjoy your channel.

The UK has one fifth the population of the USA in one fortieth of the space. In general homes are smaller here because we are CROWDED. The upside is that homes are actually well built here of stone or brick not paper, plasterboard and cheap pine , US houses are mostly very shoddily built and don't last very long.

doors in kitchen Uk homes so weird

The toilet water level is now more to do with saving water. That's why you think you have too hold the flush down for longer. No 1 short flush, no 2s long flush as you need more water. For many areas the summer months often see water restrictions especially for those where our water comes from a reservoir. In Lincolnshire our water levels were so low the village that was submergered at Rutland Water started to re appear. That was 2022.

A house is one thing - in one place built with wood and in another built by brick or stone....bamboo : A home is something quite different, built by love. One may build a home wherever one likes - but not a house. Ps, I have absolultey no idea how the USA managed to change the accent of a Scot !

Not an easy topic to cover without pissing off either the Brits or those from the US!! Even though I think you are great, I must admit I was expecting to be a tad annoyed at times. But not at all. You covered it honestly, sympathetically and respectfully. No pissing off occurred! So, well done guys. Another really great video. Wishing you all the best in your new home.❤

Do you have bunk beds in the USA? X

Another great video, such a happy, funny and positive couple 👏🏻👏🏻

Welcome to the UK. I have Scottish/Irish/French roots. I love Scotland and have climbed Ben Nevis many years ago. Your children will enjoy a different life. The weather in winter is a lot colder than the south, however the children will love the snow. ❤

Are you going to build a garage then zach

We (in North Yorkshire, England) have a uPVC double-glazed front door without any letterbox. However there is a very old looking mailbox, about 3ft 6in high, with a mail-slot near the top and locking doors to the front and rear which we can open in order to take out the mail. It is approximately 4 ft from the front door and you have to walk past it to get to the door. It is painted "post-box red" with the word "POST" and a horn painted in gold, on the top. We normally have the same postman in our part of the village. When a new one filled in for him for a week or two, he rang out doorbell to hand us that day's post. He said he couldn't find a letter/post slot in the front door. I just pointed out the very obvious red/gold box about 2 ft behind him. Cue a sheepish grin from postie.... It hasn't happened again in the 21 years since the post box was put there! PS - Since typing the above I have been outside to check. The post box ALSO has a crown painted gold on the lid (as in Royal Mail) and is actually 5 ft 7 in away from the door but still highly visible. Good video, again.

If you are living on the West coast Scotland screans are a very good idea, anyting to keep thoughs blood sucking gits out. So many doars are used as a fire break. In England they do not have to have doars to the kitchen, in Scotland there must be a doar. UK toilets often have a 2 flush system so there is far less water waist. You must remember our electricity is much stronger than Americas so safty is very important, you should look into our plug safty its amazing.

I hadn't come across the term half-bath until your previous video about your new home. At first it confused me, surely if you cut a bath in half the water would run out! Then I twigged, Americans don't go to the toilet. So a room without a bath in can be a bathroom, whereas in the UK a bathroom has a bath in it

If it helps any: in the UK in the distant past there used to be only 3 bed sizes. Single 3ft wide and double which was 4ft 6in. There was also three quarter bed which was somewhere between the two. Most beds were about 6ft 6in long. I remember being in a military hospital in the early 1970's where they had some extra long beds specially built for guardsmen who were nearly all over 6ft tall. The king size and super king didn't become fashionable until maybe the 1980's, I think. Now it really depends on where you buy the bed and it's all metric and confusing. My IKEA matress, for example, is about 3in too small all round for my IKEA bedframe.🥴

Our doors all open against the wall, we live in a 100 year old house but replaced all our doors and asked for them to be hinged that way 👍

Zach you have been a very lucky Scot meeting Annie she has a Scottish name very lovely lady . You both are lucky to have met each other don't know how you met each other but you are ment to be love your videos and I will be watching everything you will be doing in the future. I have had people from America asking me to go on messenger but due to scammers I won't. I know not everyone is a scammer but you can't tell who is and who's not . God bless keep safe and I wish you well 💯🇬🇧🌹👍

Screens are something that we could definitely do with importing from the US!!

Loving your videos ❤ ...Zach's Scottish accent is def coming back 😂 x

Nooo America is way better

Filter coffee makers died out in the early 2000s. There are plenty of good coffee options rather than using instant. I haven’t used instant for over 30 years. I’ve seen a few videos from US migrants saying that can’t get a good coffee. Filter coffee yes, but good coffee is easy to find.

My son lives in California and it still astounds me that they dry everything in the dryer even though it's sunny most of the time. We pray for sunny days in the UK and when it does everything that isn't nailed down gets washed so we can get it dry outside 😂

I moved from England to Australia. Visiting the US on a number of occasions and living in the UK most of my life and now Australia. Here is very much a mixture between the UK and US. Almost as if they cherry picked between them both. Here they have plugs in bathrooms which was very alien to me when I first moved here, laundry rooms are much more of a common sight. It's interesting to hear the differences you highlighted. Hope you're all settled now in your new home. I really do miss the history, the old towns and villages and a good pub. Mike 🇦🇺🇬🇧

Just subscribed. Welcome to Scotland I think you’re very brave and admire that about your family. I hope you’ll be very happy and contented here once the teething problems are over. Will be interested to follow your journey and wish you all the luck in he world. ❤👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I so enjoy your videos it’s real life I hope Zach you continue to enjoy your life’s journey back home in Scotland and Annie it’s so nice seeing you embracing the decision. I’m Scottish and have traveled and lived for many years in all parts of this amazing world. I’m 75 and as of February this year have moved back home to the east coast of Scotland. Wishing you all the best 💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I Australia we have a single, double, queen and king. Going from smallest to largest. From small to double it is 6 inches bigger and so on.

I'd like to see a sit down were Annie and zack gets to try Scottish foods or treats chocolate and see her reactions and maybe a score 😊

I think filtered coffee machines were around in the seventies/eighties (I remember my parents had one), but they then went out of fashion and we now tend to have pod type machines or ‘bean to cup’.

In Australia, all our bathrooms have plug points for appliances (hair dryers etc). As a UK expat this seemed really weird to me until the electrician told me that it is insulated again water damage and is not dangerous. I cannot tell you how blinking handy they are :-).

Most houses in Scotland for the last 30 years or so are timber framed too. My doors open the opposite to how you described though so maybe just how your radiators are positioned.😅

I was a kid he called it a single bed, a double bed then there was queen and king or California king.

I have to come in again. I also have a slot in my door and I have a huge house.

I grew up in the US and we always had a tea kettle and I still have one

The first time I ever heard garage pronounce like he pronounces it is when I was a kid. I was a big, Elton John freak and he’s one song I forget which one I think it’s off of madman across the water he says the garage in the motorway. And he pronounces garage like your husband does I’d rather like that.

Your house looks beautiful. Looks brand new everything. Wow I want to house tour!

I’m in the US or water level is low in the toilet to that’s energy, saving or water saving. It’s a kind of toilet you buy.

It depends on what kind of house you live in. Do you guys have air-conditioning over there in your house if you don’t need it?

They’re better constructed over there in the US they’re horrible!

Oh my God, I love the front of your house. It’s so charming.❤
