Travel notes
Roads and paths in Scotland can change character quickly. Leave slack in the day, check local access notices and carry layers even when the forecast looks settled.
Best season
April to October usually offers the most useful balance of daylight and access. Winter can be exceptional, but demands more conservative plans.
