Default New Years Eve In Scotland.............

Right me, *Anna*, TheBishMan and vroom are spending New Years Eve night in Scotland.

Myself, *Anna* and TheBishMan are all from Kent/South East London and we have a few concerns.....................

1. Will 'they' understand the queens proper english?
2. Do we need to exchange £££ into live stock to barter with for food/lodgings?
3. Do we need our passports?
4. Is the exchange rate on the pound good against the Scottish dollar?

We have already been to the wholesalers and bought trays of Super Tennants Extra and balaclavers so blend in a little more.

Apperentley we are going 2ish hours north off some place called Edine-burg? As far as i'm concerned, 2 hours north of there is the sea

Any advice on this please..............................
