From Montserrat to Scotland
When travelling from Montserrat to Scotland: Some of your Montserrat plug types fit in Scotland (G). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage matches at 230V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.
