Helpful Tips:

  • Scotland uses the pound sterling (GBP)
  • Banks in Scotland usually give the best exchange rate in foreign currency. It is also possible to change money in airports, larger rail stations, travel agents and some of the larger hotels (if you are a guest)
  • Most hotels, restaurants and shops in Scotland accept major credit cards such as VISA, Mastercard, American Express, Diners Club and JCB. However, you should be aware that small B&Bs frequently do not take credit cards
  • The standard voltage in Scotland is 240V AC, 50Hz. North American appliances need a transformer and an adapter
  • All purchases in Britain, with the exception of food and books, are subject to VAT, which increases the cost of an item by 20%
  • Delegate transportation not provided
