Operation Shamrock Falcon: a family tests its escape plan
A family from Edinburgh documents a long experiment in rebuilding finances, researching international tax and residency, and deciding whether life abroad works beyond the spreadsheet.
Field notes
The project is organized as a four-step test: rebuild after financial collapse, study pensions and residency rules, visit possible destinations, then decide what survives ordinary family life. Its source material includes a five-year home renovation, pension contributions, school and housing questions, and the possibility that staying in Edinburgh is the correct result. The planned book is described as a memoir-investigation, while the planned YouTube channel will cover reconnaissance trips and decisions that cannot be settled by a spreadsheet.
