There are no guarantees on the weather in Scotland. Sometimes you can even experience all four seasons in a single day. And for certain sights and activities, there are recommended times to visit. For example, August and September are the best months to see the heather bloom. May and June have lovely long evenings and the sky barely goes dark on mid-summers night.
If you are interested in attending any of the many Highland Games, be sure to visit during the summer months of June, July, or August. The Braemar Highland Games are held the first weekend in September.
The Edinburgh Tattoo and the Edinburgh Festival are always held in August and accommodation in the city is in high demand, so be sure to book early.
September tends to be an excellent month with quieter roads and less crowds and the weather is often splendid.
Christmas and New Year are increasingly popular holiday celebrations in Scotland, so again book early.
January, February, and March are the best times to ski the Highland Mountains.
