How is the weather there in July though? We are heading off in 2 weeks now... Will I need to worry about stiff breezes? (do I need to bring a heavy kilt pin ? We'll be on the Western Isles, Glasgow, Edinburgh, then cutting across the Highlands to Skye)
Long range forecast is for the Azores High (anticyclone) to reach to the British Isles for most or possibly the whole of July with pleasant sunny weather. Temperatures in Edinburgh or Glasgow will probably peak around 20 to 23 centigrade (68 to 73 fahrenheit). Be aware though Scotland will be close to the edge of the high pressure system so the further north and west you go, Skye and the Western Isles for example, there is more likelihood of breezier weather with some rain showers. At least if you have some wind and rain the midges will be less troublesome. They have been biting like mad this past few days. Avon Skin-so-soft makes a good repellant but you need to re-apply it every hour or so.
