Scotland uses a style of adapter plugs that are unique to the United Kingdom and differ from the rest of continental Europe. If you will be traveling to other countries in Europe, you can view the Continental Europe Adapter Kit.

Scotland Adapter Set has all the adapters you will need to travel to the gorgeous country of Scotland. These adapters will work in all regions of Scotland from the rugged Scottish highlands of Glencoe to the lovely river town of Dundee. Scotland adapter plug allows you to plug your foreign appliances and electronics into Scotland wall outlets.

Scotland adapter plugs allow electrical connections up to 240 volts. An adapter plug does NOT change the current or voltage (this requires a converter) unless your appliance is dual voltage. A non-grounded adapter may NOT be used with appliances that have grounded plugs; for these you will need a grounded adapter. If your hair dryer, curling iron, electric razor is not dual voltage you will most likely need a converter to use your electric.

Many of our customers find it handy to have multiple Scotland adaptors while traveling - either to run several appliances simultaneously or simply as a backup. Another option is the Scotland Standard PLUS Set that included a power strip with AC outlets and USB charging ports.

Grounded Scotland Adapter Plugs

If you are traveling to Scotland  with a grounded United States dual/multi-voltage appliance or using a grounded Transformer you will need to use a grounded adaptor plug. A grounded United States plug has two flat blades and one round pin.

Non-Grounded Scotland Adapter Plugs

Going In Style offers non-grounded adapter plugs for use with your voltage converter, transformer, or dual/multi voltage appliance. A non-grounded United States plug has two flat blades.

Scotland Cycles: 50 Hz vs. 60 Hz.

Scotland (UK) operates on 220 volt electricity and is generated at 50Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. United States 110-120 volt electricity is generated at 60Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. This difference in cycles may cause the motor in your 60Hz United States appliance to operate slightly slower when used on 50Hz foreign electricity. Most modern electronic equipment including battery chargers, Lenovo, HP, Asus, Toshiba computers, iPods, etc., will not be affected by the difference in cycle.

Computers and Apple Products

If you are traveling overseas to Scotland with a Toshiba, HP, Acer, laptop or Apple device such as an iPad, chances are you won’t need a voltage converter. Most laptops are multi-voltage and will operate on voltages ranging from 100 to 240 volts. However, computers do need to make safe connections to foreign power systems and a surge protector is recommended and you will still need an adapter to use your plug.

Scotland Converter- Changing Current Voltage

Going in Style Scotland adapters allow electrical connections up to 240 volts. Adapter plugs DO NOT convert voltage and only change the configuration of the pins. When voltage conversion is needed, use an electricity converter. An electricity converter changes the voltage input into your appliance. The United States electrical appliances operate on a lower current of 110-120 volts AC (Alternating Current). Most of the world operates on 220-240 volts AC. Therefore converter units enable your electronic and non-electronic appliances to run on foreign electricity (220-240 volts) to match the voltage requirements of your 110-120 volt device. Failure to run your appliance with a converter could damage your appliance.
