Joining, making a profile and browsing are free. A membership is needed to read and reply to messages, and you see the options before you pay anything. - How do I know people are real? Every photo is checked by a person. Members who pass an ID check carry a Verified badge, so you can see who has been checked. - Is there a dating site just for Scotland? Yes, this one. Scottish Dating covers the whole country, and there are local sister sites too, such as juststrathclydedating.co.uk for Glasgow and the west. - How do people in the Highlands and islands meet someone? Often through community life, like dances, clubs and volunteering, and online to reach a bit further. Meeting halfway in a town with good transport makes it easier. - Can I look for people in both Glasgow and Edinburgh? Yes. You can browse people anywhere in Scotland, so you can look across both cities. - Where do I report a dating scam in Scotland? Call Police Scotland on 101, or 999 if you feel threatened. Report Fraud does not cover Scotland. Also use the report button on the profile.
