Much about the same all round. Think most places will need to order it in. Not sure where has it in stock. I've ordered some at Eurochange at the Gyle and pick it up on Tuesday

I used Currency King at Fairmilehead. No complaints. You order online and collect within a couple of days.
I used them because they advertised in the Edinburgh City FC program, If you put 'Champions' in the remarks box, they guarantee best rate in town

[trev the hat]

I got mine online at Travelex £4 delivery Very quick

[St Pauli Hibee]

If u are needing them quick m & s on princes street stock them as do debenhams, I went m & s exchange rate was 8.4 to the pound not sure as to what the rate shall be now though

Yeah that's my plan. There's very little to save by shopping round and finding the best rate.

Just been to M&S, rate is 8.37. Before Brexit it was 9.4.

Don't use airport ones as you get ripped off.

Depends on how much you are taking out

Shouldn't be. Anyway, not planning to take so much out that would make the margins noticeable.

Fair enough, but withdrawing cash from a foreign ATM with your credit card will almost always incur a cash withdrawal fee. Plus, the interest rate on cash withdrawals tends to be higher than the rate on purchases and balance transfers – and you start to rack up interest immediately as the interest-free period does not apply to cash withdrawals. All in all, it’s a costly way to get some cash.

Think it's around 3% on a debit card, but you usually get a better rate , than from a bureau de change

That's the same as withdrawing cash from a UK ATM with a credit card.

Use a debit card.

Who said anything about a credit card? You can use any debit card with a Visa logo.

Why would you withdraw cash from a Credit Card Account anywhere in the world (even on your own High Street) unless you were desperate? You can access your Bank account with your debit card from almost any ATM.

John lewis is where I change money when in Scotland.

[snooky]

I usually get my foreign exchange at M & S.
The RBS charged me £2 for using a cash machine in N. America.
I was in Copenhagen recently and they seem to accept Euros.

[staunchhibby]

Avoid changing money at airport.Rip off merchants

[Brøndbyfan]

Don't bring cash at all, unless you're planning on buying funny hats from local gypsies in the streets. Literally everywhere will accept your visa credit/debit card. Just make sure you pay with kroner, when asked by the card-machine.

[Calvin]

I've done some actual looking into it.

Best rate for cash you can get in the shops is 8.7. Today the actual visa rate is 8.89. However, I'm with First Direct who have a 2.75% fee on non-sterling transactions which reduces the rate in real terms to roughly 8.65. I think that's pretty normal. So, in short, it's really much of a muchness. I'll probably get 1000 DKK just in case and do everything else on card.

Not at all scouse mouse . I just don't load everything onto credit cards and then have a heart attack when the bills start making a dent in the carpet when they drop through the letterbox.
