One of the major complaints in coming to Scotland is the weather. Scotland can actually
acheive all four seasons in one day. The weather in Scotland is even linked to ginger
hair "scientific research found that in areas where the temperatures in summer were
cooler and winter days were shorter – such as in Scotland – people with ginger hair
were more likely to survive and evolve. " (Daily Telegraph 08/03/2010)
Scotland can acheive some really hot summers with May to August being the hottest
time of the year. The good thing about the vairable weather is that Scotland is
used to it and has plenty to do inside and out.
