Any time!
Honestly, the weather is hit & miss, but we're a temperate country without the extremes of the US. And although photos of monuments/ buildings look better in the sunshine, there is plenty to do and see indoors.

If you start a thread I'll be more than happy to chip in with as much advice/ information as you can handle. I'm sure our Scots will too.

Amusing aside - an American I met (IRL) told me of a confusing conversation he had with an old Scottish man in a London pub. He was trying not to be offended, but the man kept on about the "fucking tourists", and how they'd ruined the country, how they were no good and how he hated them. It took another drinker to set him straight - the guy was talking about the Tories (Conservative Party), not about visitors to these shores.
