Edinburgh Weather and Historic Climate
Edinburgh, like the rest of Scotland, has unpredictable weather. Its northern location makes it cooler than England.
Winters are long, wet, dreary, and there can be some snow.
Edinburgh - When To Go
Edinburgh is most popular in summer, when days are long and warm. The Edinburgh Festival draws lots of folks in August, and Hogmanay draws them at New Years. Spring and Fall are times when crowds can be avoided.
