Hi Rich,
Scottish weather is amazing. You'll be taking pics of ... the
weather! I found 100 to be fine, so Reala would be my choice. Or
Provia if you feel so inclined. And I hope you do get rain in them
mountains. Seeing the water tumbling off the barren peaks with clouds
forming up out of nowhere is a sight to behold.
Have fun. Don't get lost (you wont understand the local's
directions!). Rick Dykstra, Australia.
