Scotland Warnings Or Dangers Tips by uglyscot

Unpredictable Weather

Scottish weather is justifiably thought of as unpredictable and usually bad. The summer months can be lovely, but spring, autumn and winter are usually cold. I don't think it rains more often than in England, and snow may not be heavier except in mountain areas,but snow can be found even in May, as the photos below show.
Therefore, it is always advisble to be prepared for anything. In summer a cardigan or light jacket could be useful. The rest of the year the more layers worn, the safer it is. It is easy to remove a layer when necessary.

Scottish banknotes

Each bank in Scotland produces its own notes. These are legal tender, but in England some shops are reluctant to accept them as before decimalisation, the Scottish pound was a fraction less than the pound sterling. Scottish notes are not accepted abroad either. So that you do not get into an embarrassing situation, it is best to try to get rid of any Scottish notes before leaving the country.
