  Always pack layers when traveling in Scotland because the weather can change in the blink of an eye. 
  
  I never ever leave home with out at least a jumper.

  For Scotland's hills and mountains, layers are essential - clothing would include:
  
  Base layers
  Fleece top/jacket
  Trousers
  Gloves
  Hat (a wind buff can be handy too!)
  Waterproof jacket
  Waterproof trousers
  Walking boots
  Socks
  
  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.

  Comfy shoes!  Those quaint cobbled streets are a killer if you're in heels, flimsy pumps etc.

  For summer sightseeing, I would suggest a showerproof jacket, comfortable shoes, sunscreen and of course don't forget a camera!
