Hi Chris,
On the box front, get a rive, can't beat it, as for the pole, are you down in Lincoln much at all, or can you get to a shop that has a few in? If so, go and have a look, see what you like, then shop around and see what the best deal is you can get.
You never said what type of fishing you need the pole for, carp puddles? all round? Where in scotland you going to be fishing? was there a good few years ago, used to fish a few places.
