Hello fam.
Please I need your help. I have a job offer in Scotland ( Aberdeen ) and I also have another offer in Nottingham England. Their pay is almost the same, it's only the welcome incentives that vary, but I'm more interested in the long term.

Please I will like our elders in this forum to help me out by giving me information on the cost of living in these areas, housing etc.

Where in Scotland?

Akorkor:
If you want lower cost of living and to save more, choose scotland. If you want higher cost of living, choose England.

Scotland is cheaper than England even with the higher tax been paid in Scotland. Life is peaceful and more welcoming than England.
England is expensive but have more job opportunities than scotland. Tax is lesser than Scotland but it does not matter as you will spend it on something else anyways.

If you have kids, education is free early with more hrs in Scotland than England.

JeffreyJunior:
Cost of living is relatively cheaper in Aberdeen compared to Nottingham but you get paid more and may have better opportunities to grow in the latter than in the former.

If the two jobs have similar pay, you may consider going to Aberdeen for now.

It's relatively cheaper except if you eat out a lot like I did. I find their fast food costlier than in Nottingham though. Moving around in rentals and taxis costs higher too including moving around in public transportation.

It's been awhile I visited so there may have been recent updates that I'm not aware of.

Shalom.
