Okay, this is the month I get down to it. Am investigating OHIP – looking good; CRA re taxes – looks like zero impact there; and just got off the phone with a v nice lady from the Orkney Housing Assoc.
Seems I had been looking at the wrong websites (tourist self-catering vs long term rentals), and 1 bedroom rents in Kirkwall are closer to £400/month ($700CAD). Whew. Will call a private housing agency tomorrow.
Just found this on Youtube: reminds me a little of the Americans’ approach to Canada when Trump won: Moving To Scotland
