Welcome to our friendly forum , Marie.

Some good suggestions from the posters. Another suggestion would be to go to the Bario Festival in Hamilton in a couple of months time http://feest-uk.com/SCOTLAND-BARRIO-...-Hamilton-2014

You'll meet loads of pinoys there , many of whom will have similar circumstances to yours and I'm sure you'll make some new friendships. Best wishes in your new life in Scotland.
