More about Scotland costs
A trip to Scotland is expensive for non-European travelers, where prices are much higher compared to the US and other European countries. Gasoline includes a large 70 percent excise tax as well as 15 percent VAT. The highest cost of living is found in Edinburgh and remote provinces like Stornoway. The smallest budget you can survive on is about 25.00 GBP (39.96 USD) to 30.00 GBP (47.95 USD) daily, staying in hostels and cooking your own food. About 40.00 GBP (63.93 USD) to 50.00 GBP (79.91 USD) daily lets you stay in Bed & Breakfast rooms and dine in midrange restaurants.
Getting around Scotland through a car will cost about 12.00 GBP (19.18 USD) to 20.00 GBP (31.97 USD) daily for both petrol and parking. Petrol costs 10 to 15 percent higher in Outer Hebrides than the Central Lowlands. Families can cut their costs by staying in family rooms and going to tourist attractions with discounted family tickets. Youth aged under 26 and seniors over 60 should take advantage of discounts offered for public transport and admission fees.
