Important Notes for Clients
Weather: Even in summer, Scottish weather is famously changeable. Advise clients to dress in layers and always carry a waterproof jacket.
August Travel: If visiting in August, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival makes the city very crowded and expensive; early booking is essential.
