September is a great time to book a break in Scotland, offering typically mild temperatures, without the summer crowds. Where better to see the seasons change than in Scotland, with so many wild and vibrant landscapes, it's the perfect place to see nature in motion as autumn takes hold. Scotland's weather in September on average ranges from highs of 15°C and lows of 9°C - they're ideal temperatures for walking if you're spending your holiday exploring the Highlands.

Dry days aren't as guaranteed in September, however, you'll get fewer rainy days than you would in spring, with an average of 14 days of rainfall throughout the month. It's Scotland's mountainous scenery that actually causes its wetter weather, so you can't have it all! Scotland's beauty far outweighs an occassional drizzly day.

Top tip: Midge season in Scotland is between late May and September, so if you're planning on exploring the Highlands during September, we'd recommend packing some insect repellent and cover-ups to keep protected. While the midges do usually tail off at this time of year, it depends on the weather, so the season can end early or late.
