Gear to take would include a good size rucksack (dry bags for inside or a waterproof cover for the outside are also useful), ordnance survey map for the area (with waterproof cover), compass, plenty food and water, head torch, first aid kit, midge repellent, and don't forget sun tan cream!
Winter walking in Scotland can be a completely different experience, and ice axe and crampons are required if going into the mountains in winter.
