You can imagine my surprise when my friendly local travel agentpresumed I wanted travel insurance for an extra £27.50. Not on your Nellie the Lock Ness monster, I thought. Who needs a travel insurance policy for a holiday in Scotland? Even in the far north, the National Health Service is free and in an emergency, my son or daughter could drive up and get us home.

Later in the day whilst relaxing in my lounge I started thinking ......
Holiday misfortunes can happen anywhere, not just abroad. So I jotted down the some of risks I could think of:
- The car might break down or, even worse, we might have an accident. No problem (secured loans). My car insurance and breakdown cover would get us home and sortthat out.
- Some thief might steal away with our luggage
- Last weekend I bought an all singing and dancing digital camera. Bought it on the Internet especially for the trip. What would happen if I lost it whilst on holiday?
- If either of us were taken seriously ill we wouldnt want to be marooned on Lewis or Skye. Dont know even whether they have a hospital on Lewis. Anyway, wed want to be transferred back to our local hospital in Yorkshire.
- My in-laws are getting on, a bit frail now. God forbid, but Id have to cancel the holiday if something happened to them just before we were due to leave.
- My wife or I could be taken ill before we depart. Then wed have to cancel. As the ferry and the hotel were non-cancellable, wed lose everything weve paid.
- There could be a big delay at the ferry sailing over to the Isle of Lewis. Besides the inconvenience, we have to sort out overnight accommodation on Skye.
- One of us might be called for jury service.
Then I had a thought. If I were in the UK, my existing Home & Contents insurance policy should cover me for loss of my precious camera or luggage. I nippedupstairs and dug out the policy. That was fortunate. We were only insured for "personal possessions" if they were listed and as Id just bought my digital camera I hadnt got round to listing it as a valuable item on my policy.
