Scottish Weather

Scotland is an ‘elemental’ experience and the weather is a subject which never escapes discussion or comment. The most dramatic of displays can quickly settle down again, so it would be fair to say that Scottish weather is variable, at the very least. With four seasons possible in one day, it might take a little more thought when getting dressed in the morning, however, there are definite benefits to all this changability… If you don’t like the weather in Scotland at any one moment, just wait 5 minutes for something that might suit you better, as conditions will almost certainly have changed!
