Should You Visit Edinburgh in June? Expect the Unexpected

If you're heading to Edinburgh in June, leave your summer expectations at the airport. Officially, it is summer, but Scotland doesn't care about the calendar. One hour you are sitting in Princes Street Gardens under a warm sun, and the next, a chilly wind from the North Sea rolls in with a drizzle. My rule of thumb? Always carry a light rain jacket, even if the sky is clear blue when you step out. Layering is key here—a t-shirt, a fleece, and a waterproof shell will save your trip.
