What season or month you choose for your trip is completely up to you, but we believe that traveling in the warmer months is the best way to explore Scotland. Summer is the time when Scotland is the warmest, however, you shouldn't expect the heat of the Mediterranean and prepare for rainy weather too. Temperatures in June-August on average just tilt over 15°C (59°F). The fall season is usually very rainy, thus if you plan your visit around October or November, make sure to pack water-resisting outerwear.
Mainland Scotland encompasses an enormous count of astonishing natural attractions as well as a few incredibly charming cities such as Edinburgh and Glasgow. However, the real beauty lies one flight or a boat trip away, in the islands. Scottish islands are one of the most favored destinations of the region, with jaw-dropping coastlines, majestic sceneries with hills, and waterfalls scattered across. One of the most popular breathtaking locations in Scotland is the Isle of Skye. Make sure to add it to your Scottish itinerary if you enjoy spending quality time in nature.
Like pizza in Italy, Scotland also has its signature dish. No trip here could be complete without a taste of the national dish of Haggis. You might wonder what it is made of? Well, to put it simply its this kind of savory meat pudding that was made from sheep's pluck - heart, liver, and lungs, and minced with onion, spices, and oatmeal. If that doesn't tempt you to try it yet, you should know it comes with whiskey sauce, turnips, and potatoes. Buon Appetit!
Scotland is still part of the United Kingdom, so the currency is the same as in the whole United Kingdom - pound sterlings. However, you might notice that Scotland has its own version of the banknotes, with different symbolics and colors - they are called Scottish notes and are widely accepted across the country too.
A comprehensive tour to Scotland is usually 7-10 days long. Keep in mind, that if you're planning to explore the gorgeous islands of Scotland, you might need to have a few spare days for the logistics of it. However, if mainland Scotland is where you're aiming to spend the majority of your trip then 10 days is an ideal duration of your Scottish itinerary.
