I'll second that.
Two crossings of the Pyrenées in 2019, one at 1794 metres and the other at 2408 metres. Both long slogs in 3rd gear over about 25km each one. Never overheated despite the ambient temperature being around 25°C (if you get it that hot in Scotland you'll be on one of the islands - Fantasy Island). The only mod I have (because the car lives in the south of France) is an export 4 blade fan. RP saloon. 4 speed.
One of the things you should do is to make sure the waterways in the block are properly cleared of rust and crud and that the radiator is properly flushed. It can make a huge difference to the running temperature under load.
