From Cork to the Highlands
I'm an Irish restaurant and bar manager moving from Cork to the Scottish Highlands under the Common Travel Area. These are the practical guides I wished existed before I packed: what the rules actually say, what the forms actually ask, and what it feels like on the ground. Every figure has a source at the foot of the piece, so you can check me.
Start with
- An Irish citizen's first week in Scottish hospitality: the Common Travel Area, in practice (Wednesday 21 October)
- Sitting the SCPLH from Ireland, and the Scottish personal licence (Saturday 24 October)
- Live-in accommodation in Highland hospitality: what to ask before you say yes (Tuesday 27 October)
- Inverness, and the next chapter (Monday 26 October)
Coming later
REHIS and HACCP for someone who already holds the Irish certificate; what the first Highland winter does to a rota; learning Gàidhlig as an Irish speaker.
