You mean other than the tropical climate? My grandparents were from Methlick near Aberdeen, I spent summers there as a child and we went to Edinburgh a few times. It had good memories for me. I wanted to live somewhere with good infrastructure and resources and somewhere where reformed theology was practiced and it is a beautiful city and a gateway to incredible countryside. Far enough from my elderly mother so she does not expect me to be around all the time but close enough to get there quickly should I need to. I love it here.
