I was wondering about how hot or cold it could get up there, although
with the usual Scottish weather I doubt if it'll ever get _too_ extreme.

I'm looking into cases with additional cooling to cope with the heat of
summer, and assuming that if it's permanently on there shouldn't be any
problem in the winter.

That's one of the advantages of moving house - you get to throw out all
the rubbish you haven't looked at for years.  Having moved twice in 2
years I've whittled down the junk pile to manageable proportions :-)

My new place is also a bungalow, which means a much bigger loft area for
the number of rooms compared to a 2 story.  You wouldn't believe how
many rolls of insulation it took to cover it (or how man trips to B & Q
to buy them).
