Dont buy art supplies in Edinburgh!
I was considering buyng canvas boards in Edinburgh since I am arriving ealry and travelling around and trying to minimize luggage. Forget that! A single W&N 8x10 board is 4.95 pounds, thats $9.20 CAD each plus some V.A.T. !! Buying another cheaper brand is 3.95 ($7.34) each. So I am stocking up in Canada with everything I need.

Woah! Thanks for this info Art!
Are you painting in acrylic or tackling oil this trip? Some people have talked about bringing unstretched canvas to tape to a panel for an inexpensive lightweight option. Easy for acrylic, but would need a wet painting carrier for oil. We are planning a 'supplies and gear' Zoom chat soon - stay tuned.
