Since the weather can change in a moment layering is the key, as you say.
I brought a thin lightweight rainproof jacket with hood and compact folding umbrella and these things were on my person at all times. You can get rain every day, you never know. I wore the ever-present American baseball cap, because I could pull the jacket's hood over it for full rain protection.
As Jock says the sun, when it comes out, can be very intense!
I'm a very light packer, one carry-on only for a fortnight, so things are pared to a minimum: one pair of shoes (with size 14 feet a second pair of shoes would almost fill my entire luggage capacity) one jacket one hat etc. No kilt for me, because it would take an entire piece of luggage for it and the associated stuff. I had to do when our Pipe Band went, but when on holiday, no.
Sounds like a fantastic trip!! You will have the time of your life, I guarantee it.
