Good to know before you go
The currency is the pound sterling and English is spoken, with a distinctive Scottish accent. The compact centre is very walkable, and a good network of buses and trams covers the rest, with Uber and Bolt on hand for door-to-door trips, so you won't need a rental car unless you're touring the Highlands where driving is on the left. Cards are accepted almost everywhere, tipping is welcome but modest, and pack a rain jacket year-round.
