    Tours October 2025

    Witness the stunning autumnal transformation of Scotland’s landscapes in October. As the leaves turn vibrant shades of gold and red, it’s the perfect season to explore the country’s picturesque countryside and historic sites.

    Travelling in October means travelling at a time of year that promises quiet landscapes, ethereal light and amazing wildlife. In the forests, trees crackle the colour of flame, and bright red rosehips decorate the hedgerows. In the wild and lonely glens, red stags begin to roar, and syrupy sunshine casts a golden glow over the shore, moor and mountainside. With crisp, pink mornings and evenings made for roaring fires, October makes for a magical and unique time to travel.

    If you like, please check out our Autumn in Scotland Page, where you can find FAQs about the weather, the woodlands, and the wildlife, as well as some of our favourite autumnal photography. Our blog Why Visit Scotland in October will shed more light on October’s various highlights.
