Scotland, part of the United Kingdom, is located in the northernmost region of the British Isles. Known for its dramatic landscapes, historic castles, rich folklore, and vibrant cultural traditions, Scotland draws travelers with its blend of natural beauty and deep heritage. From the misty Highlands and lochs to bustling cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow, visitors can expect warm hospitality, moody weather, and an abundance of storytelling around every corner.

Best Time to Visit Scotland

The best time to visit Scotland is May through September, when the days are longer, the countryside is lush, and most festivals and events take place. Expect mild temperatures ranging from 55–65°F (13–18°C), though weather can be unpredictable with a mix of sun, wind, and light rain... so packing layers is key!
