Visit Scotland - The Year Of The Homecoming

Okay so the weather in Scotland isn't all that amazing, unless you like rain, thunder storms, wind, hail and snow storms (this varies - if you go to Aberdeen, you're more likely to have a snow storm than you are in the lowlands of Scotland, such as Dumfries & Galloway).

Scotland really is a land of four seasons, all in one day! At present, its crisp and frosty in the south, and snowy up north, with temperatures reaching -10 in some places! Cold eh!? Although this all sounds off putting for some, Scotland is a land of FOUR seasons. Some days are beautifully sunny, and in summer, temperatures have been known to hit 25 degrees!Spring and Autumn are known to be the most popular times to visit Scotland, in Spring, the trees and flowers have blossomed and weather is comfortable and sunny. In Autumn, the leaves are falling from trees and the mornings in particular are crisp and frosty, but not too icy.

To prepare to come to Scotland, you will need comfortable footwear, but also evening footwear as there are plenty of places to see shows, to dine, go to concerts, comedy clubs and of course, true to Scots, Pubs!

Many people like to come to Scotland but often like to bring a car to travel round Scotland - (a map might be a good plan however - scotland is full of twisty wee roads.

Travelling by car through Scotland is the easiest and best way to see the beautiful hills and countryside!

Here's a story for you...In Scotland there is a low mist at roughly 4pm daily in Autumn & winter - this is when Scottish rogues & rebels would go 'fleeting' (theiving!) so that they were not seen easily.
