What is the best time to visit Dunkeld?

The most popular time to visit Dunkeld is during the summer, but it can get crowded and campsites may be booked up. It's best to avoid travelling during the school holidays in July and August. Alternatively, autumn is a good time to visit, as the forest will be rich with color and you can spot salmon leaping in The Hermitage’s Black Linn Falls. Biting midges are a common nuisance during Highland summers, so don’t forget to pack repellent and long sleeves. Wild camping is legal in Scotland as long as you follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. You can also explore different options for camping near Dunkeld on Hipcamp.
