Taking vacation in Scotland in Nov. Will hike on the Isle of Skye and do nice dinners in Edinburgh. Any wardrobe suggestions for for men? Google+blogs say layering, but I’m specifically looking to understand the WAY Scottish people layer (e.g. PNW layers with collared flannels; in the Midwest it’s Carhartt hoodies; NE loves fisherman sweaters). And if you have thoughts on specific footwear I’d greatly appreciate it (looking at Hunter Chelsea boots).

Scottish living in the US here - hiking - particularly in Skye and PARTICULARLY in November you will need layers and waterproofs - pants and jackets. You’ll see all the brands there - North face, Patagonia etc - fleece or puff plus wicking shirts —- you’ll need proper walking shoes/boots - ideally waterproof with ankle support - merrel or similar. Hunter anything are not suitable for hiking unless it’s a really small distance across paved roads

Edinburgh - whatever you’d wear in any big US city in a mild winter - sweatshirt/sweater, long sleeved shirts, pants/jeans, boots. Won’t be that cold but could be rainy, layers to allow you to be comfortable when (1) the wether changes 5x in a day and (2) when you go inside to attractions or restaurants/bars
