14 Pieces that are Essential to my Survival in Scotland

31 Oct 2014

B a c k p a c k For every day and off-the-road excursions with the hub.
C a s t   I r o n— Is it just me, or does Scotland just scream cast iron cooking?
P l a i d   B u t t o n - d o w n— Plaid on plaid on plaid on plaid on plaid. Got it?
S t r e e t   B i c y c l e— Because driving is hard.
P a r k a— A staple in every UK wardrobe. The "everyday" jacket: both stylish and functional.
C h e l s e a   R a i n b o o t s— Just because it's raining doesn't mean you get to skimp on fashion.
M i t t e n s— You can NEVER go wrong with shearling mittens or gloves. So, so warm! And the 'pop-off mitten top' makes them i-phone friendly! That's the most important thing, right?
t h a t ' s  M Y  m u g— Please don't touch my things.
U m b r e l l aCorrection! A sturdy umbrella. Obviously for the inevitable and torrential downpours that soon await me.
C a s h m e r e   J u m p e r— Isn't this cashmere poncho to die for?! Everyone should invest in this jumper for survival.
W i n t e r   J a c k e t— For the nights when you need to look like a marshmallow to stay warm.
H i k i n g   B o o t s— Perfect for getting out into the woods and exploring.
T r i p o d— Can be used for walking-stick purposes and selfie purposes.
B e a n i e— To keep my ears warm and also hide my three day old hair. #sorrynotsorry.

  1. These are such great essentials... and all so pretty! I forget what city in Scotland you're moving too so I can imagine the umbrella might be nice in the city, but out in the highlands I couldn't have lived without my rain jacket!

  2. I love making one dish meals in a cast iron skillet and the weather in Scotland screams comfort food right!? I'm also keen on every other item on your list especially that army green jacket and plaid shirt!

  3. I know! I have a cast iron set in the US and I can't wait to bring them over! I want to channel Jamie Oliver and make something over a campfire or something!

  4. We are moving to Aberdeen. You know, you're totally right! AND an umbrella can be a bit of a burden too. The green parka I posted is water proof, but I'm probably going to want a proper rubber rain-jacket to really repel the water.
