Planning Tips
📆 Best Time To Visit
The best time to visit Edinburgh and the Highlands is during late spring (May-June) or early fall (September) when temperatures are mild and crowds are moderate. Summer brings iconic festivals like the Edinburgh Fringe but peak crowds, while winter offers atmospheric charm and holiday festivities despite shorter daylight hours.
💰 Average Daily Budget
A couple can expect to spend around £150-200/day (2025), including mid-range hotel accommodation, meals, public transportation, and attraction entries. Edinburgh tends to be more expensive than rural areas, while Highland tours add additional costs.
🍽️ Must-Try Foods
Sample traditional Scottish dishes like haggis with neeps and tatties, cullen skink (smoked haddock soup), and Aberdeen Angus beef. Don't miss Scottish breakfast with black pudding, fresh-caught salmon, and traditional shortbread. Try local specialties like Scotch pie and cranachan dessert.
