You’ve never seen autumn like in the highlands. Resplendent oranges and deep golds, it makes forests simply whisper to be explored. As you pass through this changing landscape in the height of the leaves falling, you’ll experience the woods still abuzz with life as its various denizens prepare for winter. From squirrels scurrying around looking for nuts, and stags in the glens calling challenges as they rut, Scotland has a depth of fascinating spectacles to welcome you with in October.
Visit our Autumn in Scotland page to help answer some of your questions about autumn, for instance, what’s the weather like, where to see the best autumn colours, details of the best seasonal food and drink and much much more.
The most amazing week, in the most amazing place. Excellent guide. Not an understatement to say it has changed my life. Cannot recommended enough.
