  • Best Time to Visit Scotland

    The seasons in Scotland vary greatly, which can be one of the many reasons to visit again and again, as they all provide their own beauty and spectacle. Although Scotland isn’t blessed with year-round sunshine its climate is (surprisingly) moderate. At Macs Adventure, we offer biking tours from March through to October when the weather is most kind.

    SPRING IN SCOTLAND

    Known as the most predictable time weather-wise, as rainfall is generally at it's lowest. You can expect average maximum temperatures to range from approximately 7°C (45°F) to 13 °C (55°F) during the months of March, April and May. This is the most popular time for active vacations in Scotland, so early booking is recommended.

    SUMMER IN SCOTLAND

    June, July and August are normally the warmest months in Scotland, with average maximum temperatures ranging from approximately 15°C (59°F) to 17°C (63 °F). This time of year is great for biking the Scottish islands as you will have plenty hours of daylight allowing you to make the most of your days in the saddle.

    AUTUMN IN SCOTLAND

    September and October are up there with our favorite times to explore Scotland, the scenery is a delight with warm gold and bronze hues, as the leaves and grass change color. The autumn light is warmer, perfect for those interested in photography. Not to mention the crisp fresh air – dreamy! Our cycling trips on the Castle Trail or in the Lochs & Glens of the Trossachs National Park are wonderful at this time of year.

  • E-Biking Tours in Scotland

    Fancy a biking tour in Scotland, but not sure if your legs are up to tackling some of the larger hills or steeper ascents? Or simply fancy taking it a little easier - you are on vacation after-all! Then opting for e-bike hire is for you.

    We offer a range of biking tours in Scotland where e-bike hire is possible. By no means "cheating" the e-bike is a great tool for helping you feel confident on some longer or hillier days you may otherwise not feel sure about. You'll still be pedaling the entire time but the electric rechargeable battery is there to give you a boost when you need it, you can switch between assist levels as you go. So why not relax, and enjoy the view as you embark on a Macs Adventure biking tour. Make sure to get your request in quickly as there limited e-bikes available, and they are only becoming more and more popular.
