Travelers checks in Scotland

[Dundonian.on.Islay]

Should we get them?

We have upgraded our credit cards to "chip and pin" and Joan has acquired a Schwab card/account which should allow us to use ATM machines more or less anywhere we can find one. Has anybody used Travelers Checks in Scotland in the past few years?

I work in a bank of Scotland branch and in honesty we see very few travellers cheques these days, you should be ok with your credit and debit cards, near enough all places with a chip and pin machine accept visa and mastercard whereas Amex is widely accepted too, just not to the same extent, you'll be ok with your chip and pin cards and actual currency

Also if you have a smartphone most uk banks have an atm finder either through an app or their websites.

Hope this helps
