Summer In Scotland

Summer In Scotland

Summer holidays are all too often associated with sun, sea and sand. But we really shouldn't limit ourselves to what's considered the norm. If you're willing to put up with slightly lower temperatures and a touch of rain, this opens up many more options.

So instead of heading somewhere tropical while the weather is nice and summery anyway, why not visit Scotland? It's really not as grey and dreary as people make it out to be. The sun does tend to make an appearance! In the summer nature comes alive with sprawling green fields and patches of luscious heather teeming with local wildlife from bunnies to deer.

Scotland is the perfect destination for both city lovers and outdoorsy folk. Or you can easily combine visits to cities and nature. As the country's so compact, one or few day tours to the Highlands and Islands are commonplace and depart from both Glasgow and Edinburgh.
