>Alarm clock
But why? Just wake up when the sun does. And I assume you will have a phone, which in these days they all have a built in alarm function.
>hygiene items
Your going to be outside for 3-4 days, go swim in a creek, and don't bring shampoo and shit /out/side wtf, that's poison in a bottle to nature.
>swimming shorts
Whats the point of bringing all that underwear if you aren't even going to swim in it?
I'd think about what you really need before you try to put more stuff with it.

>extra pair of shoes/boots
wat
>swimming shorts
no, improvise
> Trousers x2
wat x2
>Undergarments x5
you are there for 4 days...
I have a feeling you're overpacking.
anyhow, scotland is rich with water, think more about purification (I think you can just boil da water) and laundry than taking extra clothing and canisters.
add: whiskey, something againts the midges (they'll fuck you up), and two hiking poles.
and be nice, the scots fowk are awesome.
souds sound, much appreciated
You have a lot of stuff... I'd ditch the jacket, if it gets very cold wear your raincoat over your fleece. Also a fleece AND a thermal sweater? Pick one I say. I would only bring one pair of pants and shirt too.
I see "trail food" on your list but I'm curious what are you going to eat specifically?
Have fun sounds like a nice trip.

By trailfood, I would get dry rations like oatmeal for breakfast, soup for lunch etc, also snacks like snickers and pita bread (I think it's called)
>>707321
I don't see baby wipes on that list...
Anything that is not Heinz beans or Smidge is useless trust me i did a 3 month trip last year in Scotland.
Where are you going btw ? I'm kinda curious.
>>707389
around Aviemore, not too far from Inverness
>>707392
Alright ! i was more focused on the Highlands so i never had the chance to go in the Cairngorms park.
For 3-4 days i suggest you don't get too much stuff so you can enjoy to walk without having to worry about weigh.
Beans are lifesaving, take a couple of cans.
Have fun lad.
