A boom in hotel building saw Scotland’s tourist capacity swell significantly since 2000, especially in Edinburgh, and you can guarantee the city will still be packed to the gills during the festival period (August) and over Hogmanay (New Year). If you want a room during these periods, book as far in advance as possible – a year ahead if possible. In general, it’s best to book at least a few months ahead for accommodation at Easter and from mid-May to mid-September. Hotels and hostels are found throughout Scotland; midrange B&Bs and guest houses are always good options, especially when staying further afield in the Highlands and more rural areas.
