When is the Best time to Visit Scotland?

It seems that prices in Scotland drop with the temperature, which makes sense as the number of visitors dwindles as it gets colder. If you are looking for a budget holiday in Scotland, then booking in the offseason, from November 1 to December 12 is well advised. After Christmas is also an excellent time for the budget conscious but do keep in mind that February could be very cold.
