What to Wear

 

Given the climate, it follows that one should never be without a raincoat or a warm sweater, but on the other hand you should never be without light clothes for those warm spells that Scotland can often get in Summer.

The standard dress for the standard Scot is the same as in most other countries, just plain old jeans and T-shirt or sweater.

For those attracted to the excellent opportunities for hill-walking and rock-climbing it is essential to come properly prepared. In the hills and mountains the weather can change very quickly. Each year people suffer serious and needless injuries through setting out without adequate equipment. The Highlands are no place to go on a serious hill walk in a T-shirt and Jeans.
