Man moves to Edinburgh from London and receives 'abuse' from Scottish people
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info An Edinburgh resident from England spoke out on TikTok about online "abuse" he received after moving to the Scottish capital from London. The man took to social media, sharing his 'disappointment' at the response, claiming "everyone I've met here is really nice". He filmed a video while walking through the Meadows, asking people to "be more compassionate". He said: "I posted a video a few weeks ago about how much I love living in Edinburgh after living in London, and the amount of abuse that I got from Scottish people saying, 'We don't want you here. Go back to England. Stop telling people to move to Edinburgh,' [as if] I have the kind of power to make a person move house. "It was really disappointing to be honest. Everyone I've met here is really nice, so I'm not sure who all these super angry individuals are. "Imagine what would have happened if I'd have made a video saying that I didn't like Edinburgh. I can't win. Imagine the backlash. "It was really disappointing, to be honest. I love Scottish people. I think they're so nice and they've been nothing but welcoming to me here, but Jesus Christ on TikTok - the hate. "I get it right. It's hard times for people. Prices go up when more people move to a place, I understand. But it's very difficult to isolate that to just Edinburgh. All around the UK, people are finding it extremely difficult to get by. "Anyone who wants to live in the center of a town or a city - it's so ridiculously expensive now I think we all just need to be a little bit more compassionate." Sympathetic locals took to the comments. One said: "Oh God, I am from Edinburgh. I'm so sorry you have been abused." Another shared: "Cybernats are the pits. Online anti-English trolls are the worst." A third penned: "I'm Scottish but have moved back to Edinburgh from London after 25 years and I prefer England. I can't stand Scots who walk around with a chip on their shoulder and even now colleagues are funny with me because I lived down there."
