Random tidbits

(Morgan) A few random bits of info for future travelers to Scotland…

  • Roads here really are crazy - plan for things to take longer either due to rain, windy roads or sheep passing. Our favorite road sign so far has been frustration kills” - so take that as you will!
  • Scottish people love their roundabouts…prepare thy self. 
  • All barber shops are called “Turkish Barbershops” which is…interesting?
  • Bathroom switches are outside in the hallway.
  • Pull chords in the bathroom are either to turn on the lights, start the shower OR an emergency chord in case you slip and fall. Choose wisely when pulling. 
  • Rain is no joke here. I thought I was prepared but I wasn’t! Buy ALL THE WATERPROOF THINGS. Shoes/boots, jackets, wool socks and hats - but be prepared to shed it all off when the sun comes out. 
  • While most places have a washer, they don’t have a dryer. I’m not totally sure how people get their clothes to dry hanging things out with all this rain - so know that a hair dryer dries more than just your hair! 
A pint at a local pub and a Sunday roast is always worth it - especially when surrounded by family.
