Autumn in Scotland

Autumn is a beautiful time of year in Scotland as the glow of fiery shades lights the countryside.  Make the most of the walking trails and golf courses during the stunning autumn colours, or explore Scotland's cities once they're emptied of summer tourists.

Autumn Holidays in Scotland

September can be just as warm as the summer months (sometimes warmer!) and is often regarded as one of the best months to visit Scotland. The busy tourist season begins to die down by October and many of the rural tourist attractions shut down for the season after the half term October holidays.

Autumn Activities

Enjoy the autumnal shades of Scotland's beautiful landscapes during the autumn months with some hill walking. VisitScotland have put together a list of autumn themed walks for you to experience the wonderful colours at their best.

Autumn is also the perfect time to have a golfing holiday and discover some of Scotland's fantastic golf courses.

Or why not plan a fishing holiday in Scotland and enjoy the autumn scenery from the lochs and rivers.

September is also the season of deer stalking in Scotland.
