How crowded are Edinburgh and the Highlands in mid-June?
I assume July and more so August are very crowded. How does June compare?
As an aside, how hot does it get in June? I've searched a bit and 75 F seems to be the daily high.
I imagine it's great in mid-June, as that is approaching the summer solstice.
Thank you!
Regarding the weather-
I've been to Edinburg in the summer and worn a down packable jacket. You are pretty far north. And-
Don't forget the raincoat and waterproof shoes.
In August , The Fringe Festival takes over the town for most of the month, so there are crowds, but it's a wonderful performing arts event. I've been a few times, and plan to return, so highly recommend the experience. However, lodging prices do jump accordingly.
Have a great trip!
I was up the road from Edinburgh this past June. I needed a light jacket most days.
Edinburgh has become a very popular destination. Expect crowds. Perhaps not like August, but it will be crowded.
