Hello, and thanks to all who responded about GF travel in Scotland.  I 
was seeking affirmation that GF awareness is good in Scotland (not 
necessarily specific restaurant recommendations)--and I received it!  
The general feeling is that awareness is high, and that even small shops 
can accomodate a GF traveler.  Here is an excerpt from Peter, who lives 
in the UK, and has his finger on the pulse, and which nicely summarizes 
the responses I received:


"You should have plenty of options for GF eating in all of the UK in 
general, which of course includes Scotland (at the moment!).  I live in 
North Yorkshire, but have been to many parts of the UK (including 
Edinburgh) since I was diagnosed in 2002 and have not had any problems 
finding GF food, either in a pub / restaurant or in a supermarket. The 
current standard in the European Union for food labelling for food, 
other than fresh food, bought in shops ensures that all ingredients must 
be listed on the outside of the packing, with common allergens, 
including of course gluten, listed in bold type.  So food shopping may 
take a little longer checking, but you are safe."


Great news!  Thanks everyone!
