Three things you need to know about Edinburgh before planning your outfits
- The duration of sunshine in summer is long
In summer, the daytime is very long. I remember last time I went to Edinburgh is in June and at around 7 am it is already bright outside. Also, it turns completely dark around 10:30 pm.
- Always rain
The UK is famous for the rainy weather, and almost everyone knows that the UK is a very humid country. Always bring an umbrella or anything that can help you get rid of wet.

Edinburgh’s winter is not very cold, if you plan to go there in winter, do not need to pack a lot of heavyweight clothing since the range of temperature is between -5 to 5.

Recommendations for the outfits
Scottish tweed lovers
In my opinion, the essential element of the Scottish outfit is tweed. So this tweed jacket may be a good choice for you. For old fashion goods, wine is always a right color to choose. In this case, the pants and shoes match the outwear properly.
