For serious foodies try this place at Northallerton, also in North Yorkshire (we like our food!) They do mail order, but I think it may only be in the form of hampers (you can choose what goes into the hamper). Worth a visit if ever you're in the vicinity.

If he likes reading, a copy of Whisky Galore by Compton Mackenzie, or anything by Irvine Welsh - Trainspotting etc

Again if he likes reading what about the Rebus novels by Ian Rankin.!!

Forgot to mention that my husband is Scotish and everyday we get a completely free Scottish paper with comps and local scottish news in it via e-mail.. He loves it and I have found it good for holidays and competitions (before I was part of this wonderful site of course)!
http://www.scotsman.com/ sign up and see what happens! I know you can't put it in a hamper but it's a freebie everyday. Last competiton we entered (didn't win though) was to appear in an Inspector Rebus T.V. film!

Anyway free and worth a look!!

What about clootie dumpling, tablet, macaroon, edinburgh rock, bagpipe c.d? Buy a few miniatures of whisky rather than a bottle of one sort. We've bought lots of t-shirts in the past with Scottish phrases -'eejit', 'fitba', etc. Maybe one of these would go down well?
Hope this helps.
