Scotland in late October 2018

Rivor

We will be starting from Inverness, driving south and making our way down towards north-western England, taking perhaps 4-5 days. We are unsure of a route and open attractions that would interest us (more research yet to be done for that), so having some flexibility for late decisions would be good. So, in late October are we likely to run into difficulty finding hotel or similar style accommodation along the way if we have not made any prior reservations?

Hi @Rivor, Stop off in Pitlochry, one of Scotlands most beautiful towns and enjoy The Enchanted Forest event that runs the whole of October! http://theenchantedforest.org.uk/

If you wish to visit Pitlochry or The Enchanted Forest, make sure that you book now for accommodation and tickets for the event which attracts over 70,000 visitors over 4 weeks.

Finding accommodation in late October shouldn't be a problem and there are plenty of options along the main tourist routes.

Horizons

Availability should not be a problem. The only tip would be calling a nice b&b (there are so many excellent ones across Scotland, related Community discussion) on the route you would have chosen the evening before getting there. I did a long trip without any preplanning once and this tip helped me ensure a pleasant stay.
