There is indeed gold to be found in Scotland but in very small quantities. I understand that the Queen wears a ring made from Scottish gold - it came from Sutherland. People used to pan for gold in the ironically named Leadhills district in the Lowlands. I tried it myself, but found none. I read that folk used to peg sheepskins to the beds of burns (streams) and they'd sometimes find some gold in the wool. That is possibly how Homer's work in Ancient Greece came up with the idea of the golden fleece.
