Scottish gifts for large budgets
#1 Scotland-inspired board games
Board games are a great way to keep travelers occupied while they can’t travel to the country they love the most, Scotland!

#2 Scottish gifts for whiskey lovers
The best gifts from Scotland for whiskey lovers are, of course, a bottle of Scotch.
You can find plenty of different brands on Drizly, but if you want to play it safe, go for a bottle of Macallan. One of the best overall Scottish whiskey brands.
Another cool whiskey-inspired gift for frequent Scotland travelers is this Scotch whiskey distilleries scratch map, perfect for people who would love to travel around Scotland and visit all distilleries!

#3 Scottish laird or lady kit
If you are looking for the most random gifts for Scotland lovers, I think this is it.
You can make them a Laird or Lady of Dunans Castle in Argyll Scotland.
Seriously, which Scotland lover wouldn’t want to receive the title of laird or lady?
The gift comes with an explanation of how it all works and the land that comes with the lairdship.
#4 Scottish family gifts
This is the best gift for Scottish families, whether they moved abroad or are still living in Scotland is this personalized poster of the family in Scottish highland Cows.
You can completely personalize it from the names to the attributes, to the correct number of family members.
#5 Scottish gifts for gin lovers
If you are looking for gifts for people who love Scotland and gin, a Scottish gin-tasting box is one of the best things you can get them. This set includes Glaswegin, Badachro gin, Rock Rose Grapefruit Old Tom, The Teasmith Original Gin, and Shoogle Scottish Dry Gin.
A cheaper alternative for Scottish gin lovers is this Scottish gin map or this book about Scottish gin.
And for more ginspiration, I recommend checking out the gin gift guide!

Shirts with funny Scottish sayings or typical Scottish items are perfect gifts for travelers since they can easily take them with them on a trip. You can check out Etsy to pick a design that works best for the person you are getting this gift for.

#24 Tartan-inspired gifts
If you say Scotland, tartan is one of the first things people think about.
So something tartan-inspired, such as this scarf is of course a great gift for Scotland lovers!
Check out Amazon for more tartan-inspired gifts, such as scarves, home decorative items, shirts, bags, and whatnot.
#25 Harris tweed-inspired gifts
I’ll admit, I had to look up the difference between Harris Tweed and Tartan since to me it’s both a patterned types of fabric.
But Wikipedia taught me that, and please correct me if I’m wrong, Harris Tweed is handwoven tweed cloth by Scottish Islanders, whereas Tartan refers to the patterned cloth that’s typical of Scotland.
Anyway, I just thought that this was worth explaining before we would finish this list of Scottish gifts!
You can find Harris Tweed anything, scarves, gloves, jackets, hats, and bags. I quite liked the make-up bag as Scottish gifts for her, but check out Amazon for more inspiration.
