Default Hi, Any Scottish VAs?
I'm thinking we are probably pretty thin on the ground! Anyone out there, give me a shout!

Hi Diane and

I don't think there are too many VA's from the UK here and you are the first one I have met from Scotland!

If I'm talking to anyone about my Virtual Assistant business I usually speak in terms of being a freelance secretary as not many people have heard about VAs!

You will find that this is a fantastic site! There are some lovely people here, really friendly and helpful. An absolute godsend for newbies like me!

Hi Diane

Wow not even on the mainland but on the beautiful Isle of Lewis! That means that there is hope for me to move away from London. I always worry about broadband connections, mobile services and such. I attempted to move to the Lake District but it wasn't viable at the time, maybe it's time to try again!

Welcome to the community.

Hi - Thanks for the replies. Living and working on the Isle of Lewis is the ideal (for me). We have Broadband but there are still places on the Isle that are still dial-up which is a disgrace. I suppose my location (and everybody else's) shows how easy it is work as a Virtual Assistant.
ps. I want to show MY island off so check out this tourism site -

and lovely pictures at -

Hi Diane,

Welcome to the forum, whilst I am based in Berkshire I am originally from Paisley so it is nice to hear of a fellow Scottish VA. I think as someone mentioned there aren't that many UK VA's on here, I wish you all the best of luck for your VA'ing future.

Best wishes

Jill

Hello!! it's great to see more and more VAs from the UK! I'm from Kent and I'm hoping to specialise in the design & media industries; as well as offering French translation services in the near future

Hi All

Sorry, I'm not in Scotland, but in the West Midlands. I's good to meet all of you UK VA's. Glad there are a few of us around.

Hi Diane I am based in New Zealand but I am Scottish. Probably not exactly what you were looking for but I thought it'd be nice for you to know there are some of us out here even if not based at home. Have yet to go there or get to know my heritage as I was born and bred here in New Zealand. Anyway welcome all the same, there are some really helpful people here and lots of interesting info.
