The Ring of Brodgar in the Heart of Neolithic Orkney
Our warmest months in Scotland are June, July and August which have average maximum temperatures around 17°C (63 °F).
Scotland has lovely long summer days thanks to where the country sits on the globe. This means that the far north doesn't get any complete darkness in summer, and places like Lerwick in Shetland have about four hours more daylight than London.
Fire safety outdoors
As the weather gets drier, the risk of wildfire in Scotland increases. Fire can ignite easily, spread fast and burn with high intensity. We're all asked not to light a fire outdoors during prolonged dry periods, and to always fully extinguish cigarettes.
