    You could get the car ferry from Belfast or Larne to Scotland.

    There are shipping companies that do the Ireland - Great Britain - Europe route. I would expect that they do not usually travel as far North as Scotland. But they could at least take your stuff across the Irish Sea. You could meet the driver somewhere in England and take your gear up to Scotland yourself from there. Or you could look for a shipping company that has a local partner who will forward your parcels to Scotland.

    Can you give any indication as to the total weight of what you intend sending over?

    You should possibly look to use a Pallet shipping service.

    Possibly pay €150.00+ Ireland to Scotland but at 360kg you may need a half pallet.

    Google it, several companies offer a service, though your weight/dimensions etc will need to be fairly precise before seeking a quote.

    You'll also have to factor in boxes, which will need to fall within the parameters set by shipper.
