Question
What's the weather like?
Answer
June is normally one of the warmest months in Scotland, with average maximum temperatures ranging from approximately 59-63 °F. Scotland's high latitude means that we will get to enjoy lovely, long summer days and sunset closer to 10:00 pm. There is always a chance of rain though, so make sure to bring a jacket/layers and appropriate clothing.
