    Kilts of course!
    Good waterproof coat
    Camera with lots of film/SD card
    anti-midgie spray (herbal)
    vacuum flask to carry your own tea or coffee (save a small fortune)

    are you hiring a car?

    You might want to check any voltage issues with any electrical appliances (charger, shaver, hairdrier etc) you might be taking - I think it's a bit different. You can get an adapter when you arrive.

    And never introduce yourself as "Hi, I'm Randy!" while in the UK.

    Don't forget to pack a real good sense of humor to use when you exchange USD for GBP. As of today, $1 is worth about 52p.

    Isn't that the truth!

    I'd say pack your kilt(s) and camera and be off with ya!
