Or if you don't think you will move it, you could dry a big bunch of the leaves now to use until you get a new one growing.

I wonder - could you take a few cuttings of your old tree to make a new tree for scotland? Just that 10 foot sounds very large to move to me. But it might be nice to have something of the old one (assuming that bay can b grown from cuttings - I haven't a clue about that, just musing aloud).
