SCOTLAND DEANERY

The perfect destination! Scotland’s proud heritage and culture together with unrivalled outdoor and sporting activities combine to offer great opportunities for living, training and working.

There are four distinct Deaneries within Scottish Recruitment - East, North, South East and West. The geographical areas offer a wide range of lifestyles from the vibrant city life in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen and Inverness ; to quieter smaller semi-rural towns; to fabulous remote and rural settings in Dumfries and Galloway, the Borders and the Highlands and Islands.

Wherever you go you will never be far from the breathtaking scenery of the Scottish countryside and the massive array of outdoor pursuits on offer. We have cornered the market in UK mountain scenery and have a coastline longer than the rest of the UK put together. Opportunities for sport and recreation abound with world class mountain sports such as mountain biking, climbing, hill walking and skiing. In addition our coastline offers great sailing, surfing and kayaking. The Scottish culture is also renowned for its focus on music and the arts. Furthermore Scotland has a world wide reputation for its food produce that is reflected in the large number of gourmet restaurants on offer throughout the country.

When you couple this distinct Scottish character with the extremely high quality of training on offer, the result is the perfect training destination. We look forward to welcoming you and we are sure you will want to stay!
