A Scottish sojourn is best undertaken in the country’s spring (late March to May) and autumn (September to November). A visit in the popular summer months of June through to August, will see the crowds enjoying days full of lengthy sunshine and extended twilight. A spring visit will mean witnessing the last of the snow-capped mountains up in the Highlands and the iconic Cairngorms, and autumn will showcase fabulous colourful foliage as the typical tourist crowds begin to wane. Travelling in winter can be a challenge with the widespread snowfall and the closing of many hotels during the wild weather. However, those brave enough to venture over will be treated to postcard-worthy snowy panoramas and warm Highland hospitality.
