Scotland

Language

  • The official language of Scotland is English, although Scottish Gaelic and Scots are also spoken in certain areas. Most people speak English fluently, and learning a few basic Scottish phrases, such as "A'm fine, thank ye" (I'm fine, thank you) or "Hullo" (Hello), can be appreciated.

Time Zone

  • Scotland operates on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) during the winter months and British Summer Time (BST) during daylight saving time. This makes it 7 hours ahead of Salt Lake City during daylight saving time and 8 hours ahead during standard time.

Electricity

  • Scotland uses Type G outlets with a standard voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50Hz. Be sure to bring an adapter if your electronics use a different plug type, and check the voltage compatibility for your devices.

Climate

  • Scotland’s climate is typically cool and often unpredictable. For example, in February, temperatures range from a high of 41°F (5°C) to a low of 32°F (0°C). It's essential to be prepared for all types of weather and pack layers, waterproof clothing, and sturdy shoes for outdoor activities.

Health

  • Medical insurance is recommended when traveling to Scotland, but it is not mandatory. Travelers should ensure they are covered for any potential medical expenses during their visit. Travel Insurance

Tips

  • Tipping in Scotland is not compulsory, as service charges are typically included in the bill. However, leaving small change or rounding up for exceptional service is always appreciated.

Currency

  • The official currency in Scotland is the British Pound (GBP). The exchange rate fluctuates, but as of now, $1 USD is approximately equal to 0.83 GBP. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, even for small purchases.

Cultural Etiquette

  • Scottish people value politeness, respect, and personal space. It’s customary to greet others with "Hello" or "Good morning." If you are visiting someone's home, it is polite to remove your shoes upon entry, especially in rural areas.

Local Cuisine

  • Scottish cuisine includes hearty dishes such as haggis (a savory pudding), fish and chips, Scotch broth, and neeps and tatties (mashed turnips and potatoes). For dessert, try cranachan or shortbread. Scotland is also known for its excellent seafood, including fresh salmon and mussels.

Should I purchase travel insurance?

Is a rental car the best option when traveling to Iceland?

A rental car is a great option if you plan to explore rural areas and the Highlands. Public transportation is excellent in cities, but renting a car offers more flexibility for seeing remote locations and scenic routes like the North Coast 500.

Is Iceland a good destination for families?

Yes, Scotland is an excellent destination for families. Activities like exploring castles, hiking, visiting museums, and taking boat tours are perfect for all ages. Cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow also offer family-friendly attractions.

What is the local etiquette when dining out?

When dining out in Scotland, it’s customary to greet the staff upon entering a restaurant. It’s polite to wait to be seated if it’s a formal setting. Tipping is common, generally around 10-15% of the bill if service is not included.

Do I need a Visa to visit Iceland?

Our Happy Clients

I was very pleased with the service that I received from evolution35 travel company. Our 9 day trip to Cancún was wonderful time in this beautiful country. The resorts that evolution35 chose for our stay were all wonderful! Evolution35 people was in constant communication with us via email and WhatsApp asking how the trip was going and if we had any concerns or requests and when I did have a request they responded immediately and took care of it. Everything including tours and transportation were taken care of for us so it was very relaxing knowing we did not have to think about anything except when and where we were going next. Evolution35 also worked hard to ensure that we have a wonderful time during our stay in Cancun an that we return home safe. We are planing a trip to Costa Rica with Evolution35 in October.

Our Happy Clients

We did the Costa Rica trip and it was incredible. Zipline, rainforest, boat rides, catamaran. It
was soooo much trip for the money. Loved the hotel Tabacón with the hot springs and the
Westin was also 5 star! You go from the Carribean side to the Pacific. It's the trip of a
lifetime. Well done evolution35

- Jason Shamy

Our Happy Clients

Evolution35 made our dream vacation come true! Great package price inclusive of airfare, 5
star hotel, transportation, meals, and excursions. I did not have to do anything. Everything
was planned ahead for me under one affordable price. We had a blast and are looking
forward to booking again with evolution35! Evolution35 is the way to vacation!!!!!!

Our Happy Clients

Contacté con esta empresa gracias a una amiga. La relación calidad/precio me ha parecido
excelente. La atención durante la contratación del viaje fue muy buena y rápida.
Solucionaron todas nuestras dudas, que eran muchas, con paciencia y acierto. La propuesta
que finalmente contratamos ha sido ideal para una primera vez en Hawaii, nos ha permitido
vivir la tranquilidad de la isla y hacer rutas por los parques naturales. En la llegada a Maui no
reubicaron a un apartahotel mejor en una zona diferente a la inicial que resultó ser un gran
acierto, dado que íbamos en familia, y facilitó nuestra estancia. Si podemos volver en el
futuro para conocer las otras islas, seguro que repetimos con ellos. ¡Gracias!
