I'm heading to Great Britain (England + Scotland) on Saturday and I'm going over my electronics.
My understanding is that GB voltage is 230 +/- 10, correct?
So if I have electronics that require 110/220V, 110/230V, and 110/240V I should be fine with just an adaptor, yeah?
Do I need a converter if its 110/250V ?

All of those voltages you listed would indeed work fine, the 110/250 also because I think that means a 'minimum of 110 and max of 250' rather than 110 OR 250.
Make sure you pick up an adapter that has some sturdy pins on it, some sockets need a bit of a push to get the plug in and on those adapters with retracting pins it can be annoying.
Enjoy your trip!
What part of Scotland are you visiting? =]
I never needed a converter except for the following... US bought laser printer, a hair dryer, a NTSC VHS VCR, a 17" CRT monitor (why was I so stupid to move this back to Europe anyway???). Although I doubt you'll take any of those items on your travels...
Having a plug-thingy that you can plug inbetween the wall socket and your gadget's plug, which offers you some surge protection, is a good investment though! Usually the best place to buy this is at an airport.
