It seems at this point that I will be traveling to Scotland in the near future. My friend will be doing some student teaching in Wales, in October (I think about 5 weeks). So its been discussed that I could meet up and visit Scotland.

The question is whether it would be better to visit towards the end of September or the end of October 2011? As this seems to be the most possible.
I understand that it is towards the end of the tourist season. (Hey I am cheap!..frugal).

Any suggestions or comments are truly appreciated.
Late Sep/early Oct is generally a good weather window in Scotland whereas we often have storms towards the end of the month which suits me as it's the end of the salmon season on our river and I always take the last two weeks of Oct to fish. No water no fish.

If you have a choice then I'd go for late Sep.
