Scotland is not technically an independant country, but somehow it prints its own money. The Scotish pound is the same thing as the English pound, and both are completely interchangeable. What's even wackier is the fact that there are three different kinds of Scottish bank notes, from the three main Scottish banks: The Bank of Scotland, The Royal Bank of Scotland, and the Clydesdale Bank. All of these are in regular circulation, along with the regular English notes.

As stated earlier, Scotland was amazing. One of the best parts was staying in a bothy on the west coast. (what's a bothy?) We spent two nights here on a remote peninsula with a few fellow travellers and few hundred sheep.

I won't tell you where the Bothy is exactly, but it's somewhere near this beach.
