Moving to Stirling soon

[JString1]

Hello, I'm from the US, living in the state of Oklahoma. I am of Scottish heritage and will move to Stirling in the fall 2021. Can you give me advice about the area? What areas are rougher than others? I'm not a bar person, but will go to clubs to hang out and seek good restaurants. Thank you in advance for your help. I am single, older than 40, no kids to bring with me. I may end up buying, but will rent for 6 months to be sure it's the area I want to buy a house permanently.

THANK YOU everyone. I'm really enjoying reading the comments. I appreciate all the help.

what’s the back story if you don’t mind me asking?

No obligation obviously!

Hello, let me see, which backstory to tell? I am an American, my ancestors are from both Scotland and England on my dad's side, and I mostly connect and relate to the Scots. I don't know why, but I always have. I know that my love of bagpipes and kilts may have something to do with it. I'm moving to be free from my family, not my kids, but my siblings, their drama. My dad has passed, my mom is living with my sister, and there's just too much to discuss in terms of what it's like being in that particular family when I just don't fit in. I have never really fit in. I've always been adventurous, outgoing, outspoken, one to do what I will do. It's time to move. It's time to strike out on my own, and it's time to see the one place my soul calls home. I don't know yet where I'll end up; could be Stirling, could be Falkirk, could be Bathgate. I love Edinburgh, but I won't live directly in the bigger cities. I've been too NYC, Chicago, Seattle, and L.A. too often to mention. I don't like major cities and their actual living conditions.

If there's more you'd like to know you can read my book, it's out: Jude's Almost Daily Blog Vol. 1, or you can go to my website and see my blogs. www.judestringfellow.com Let me know if you have more questions. Thanks for asking.

Small point but we call it Autumn

Thank you for the clarification. I'm sure I'll mess a few things up when I get there.
