Scotland in the winter months

[Jewellbags]

Mainly as we are juggling up time to travel to Europe to see no1 son and his new son. Is Scotland doable say late October to early December or does the weather get the better of it ? Not too worried about cold nor short evenings but would rather not drive through monsoons or get cabin fever

Just do it , Scottish weather takes no regard to seasons

We have done pretty much every month, like them all

We finish our touring Scotland summer season first/second week in November and start winter season in December!

It'll probably be wet, but then again perhaps not. It's doable and It'll be quiet and midge free.

You're looking at this all wrong, the views can be even better with snow on the hills, they are fantastic sight to see.

This was January a few years back for the wife's 50th on Harris and Lewis. Had a brilliant time.

Some images from a 10 day trip through Scotland to the Isle of Harris & Lewis for my wife's 50th Birthday.

If you don't like the Scottish weather then wait 10 minutes

but would rather not drive through monsoons

What makes a Scottish monsoon any worse than an English one??

We live in the north east of Scotland and love to get away in the winter, the scenery is more spectacular and the colours on the hills unbelievable. It does get cold, the days are short and can be wet/dry/sunny/snow al, in the same day.

We had a great trip in January to Dumfries and Galloway. Agree snow on the hills is wonderful. The climb up Criffel was easier because the boggy bits were frozen.
