Visiting Scotland in late October- Glasgow. Edinburgh, & Highlands. Any Scotch suggestions to bring

back with me? I have an account here in California with a world-class store, but I'd like to bring back something local from Scotland. Anyone have any suggestions? This is a good time to be buying, with the strong dollar.

I'm landing in London, where I have family, and we'll be taking the train up to Glasgow, with day trips around.

maybe some wool clothes, like sweaters.

Fwiw, I took the train from London to Edinburgh before Brexit, and it was a fine ride. No trash cans in the big train stations, though-- they all prize antiterrrorism over convenience.

Asking for a friend?

Seriously, you picked the right place. Here is the Google map marked with all the distilleries in the area.
