Scotland Guide: Travel Tips & Info
The weather in Scotland is unpredictable, so pack waterproof clothing, sturdy waterproof shoes, and an umbrella. A waterproof daypack is also useful. Bring an extra pair of socks for excursions. US nationals need a valid passport to enter the United Kingdom.
Prices in Scotland vary depending on location and season. In popular tourist areas — especially cities like Edinburgh or Glasgow — you can expect higher costs. Traveling during the low season can help you save on flights and accommodations.
The currency in Scotland is the pound. You can usually pay with major credit cards (Mastercard, Visa) without any problems. However, you should always have some cash with you in case, for example, card payments are only possible above a certain amount.
In addition to antipyretics, medication against cold symptoms (nasal spray, lozenges etc.) and against diarrhea, you should also have mosquito spray with you. Small mosquitoes are particularly prevalent in Scotland in summer.
The best time to visit Scotland is between April and September. Summer offers milder temperatures and more stable weather — but it’s also when midges (small biting insects) are most active and visitor numbers are higher.
