From the VisitScotland website: "October really is a great time to see Scotland in all its glory, when the trees are ablaze with golds, russets and reds. Take a walk on a bright, clear day and awaken all of your senses, first as the smell of fallen leaves fills your nostrils, then as the aroma of a gardener's bonfire wafts by. Why not end the day on an indulgent note, warm and cosy indoors with a scone and homemade jam. The colours at this time of year are beautiful golden shades; walk through the crunchy leaves of autumn in the forest glens of Glentress and Aberfoyle. Not long into October we often see the first of the snowfalls on the high northern mountains. As the days shorten, and the weather fronts become more potent, we slide inexorably towards colder, slightly damp weather!"
