What will the weather be like?
The weather in Scotland can vary greatly from day to day, hour to hour and, often it appears, minute to minute! It is wise to carry a waterproof jacket, just in case. And if travelling in April or October it can sometimes be chilly so having a jumper can be helpful.

What should I wear?
We recommend you bring a waterproof jacket and walking shoes as we often make stops when you can enjoy a stroll amongst our wonderful Highland scenery.
