Scotland also attracts numerous visitors over the winter, especially around Hogmanay, which marks the ‘off-season’. Many people come during the shoulder season as well, before and after the summer, and enjoy fewer crowds but still agreeable weather. This high season coincides with summer's better weather, more daylight hours, and plenty of activities and festivals happening around the country.

It simply depends on what you want to see and do.
