Summer nights in Scotland are some of the most beautiful. Catch a red sky at night sunset, and it'll blow your mind. Scotland is just one of the most beautiful places on the planet - 14 million people travel yearly to see the beauty. Some call it the land of myths, but we think it's the land of beauty. Keep reading to learn about summer nights in Scotland.
Summer Nights in Scotland 
We'll talk about the summer mornings because we also love them, but the summer nights will steal your heart. Scotland is known for, well, being freezing, so you really can't beat a warm summer night. But how can you spend a traditional summer night in Scotland? We have a few ideas. And it's very culturally Scottish.
You could try authentic ceilidh dance in a small village hall. The lively music and spirit are great, and it's not typically what tourists do. You can wander through a night market in Glasgow or Edinburgh - they're always good. Local artisans and culinary delights create a lively atmosphere.
Dining al fresco at a coastal eatery is already incredible. Travel down the coast with luxury motorhome hire in Edinburgh (also a great experience), and you'll find an endless list of traditional pubs serving the best food. The seafood is some of the best. Search on TripAdvisor before you go for advice.
Or you could stroll through the serene ruins of St Andrews Cathedral or Edinburgh Castle. There's an endless list of things for you to do.
The Best Place to Catch a Sunset
Of course, you need to catch a Scottish sunset. Summers in Scotland usually have a good 16 or more hours of sun each day, with the sun setting at about 9:20 pm in August. You're guaranteed to catch a good sunset (well, UK summer isn't reliable).
The Isle of Skye is a great place to go - it's popular with locals and tourists.
The Loch Lomond reflective surface also makes a sunset look incredible. Rannoch Moor is massive. The open landscape is perfect for watching a dramatic sunset. Or you could take your motorhome (if you rent one), and take it to the remote Outer Hebrides. It's a great sunset experience.
If you're more urban, the sunset from the Glasgow Necropolis is incredible.
You'll be able to find tons of sunset experiences, even without trying. There's something about a Scottish sunset that's mesmerising, and so are the sunrises. More on that in the next section.
The Best Places to Catch a Sunrise
Sunrise can be just as beautiful as the sunset if you're watching it from the right place and can see it.
In our opinion, the east coast offers gems like the beaches of St Andrews, where the sun rises over the North Sea. If you catch this on a clear day, it looks stunning.
The summit of Ben Nevis, the UK's highest peak, is one of the best, but not everyone will find climbing to the highest peak of Ben Nevis in the morning. Well, you couldn't anyway.
You'd be doing a nighttime hike. It takes, on average, 7-8 hours to climb to the summit of Ben Nevis. You will get an incredible Highlands view, though.
The hills of the Scottish Borders are also great - you can see for miles so you're almost guaranteed to see the sunrise. And they're not as tricky to get to as the summit of Ben Nevis.
The Best Locations To Spend The Night
Have we made you want to spend some summer nights in Scotland? Compared to some parts of the UK, it's not expensive at all.
Scotland's clear summer nights are perfect for stargazing and catching the best sunsets. You won't regret even just spending a weekend there. Galloway Forest Park, known as Dark Sky Park, will give you some of the best stargazing experiences in Europe. If you want a tranquil retreat, the remote beaches of the Outer Hebrides are stunning.
Look online for some of the top places to spend the night.
Summer nights in Scotland are just the best - the natural beauty will blow your mind. Natural beauty is completely what Scotland is about. It doesn't matter where you stay or what you'll see - summer nights in Scotland will be some of the best. And because it spends half the year in the cold, everyone is making the most of it. The Scottish hospitality in the local pubs will make you feel welcome.

An inclusive workplace welcomes and includes every employee. It ensures that employees feel accepted within the team they work in, across the wider organisation (as applicable) and supports them to thrive doing the work they perform.
In addition, an inclusive workforce is an environment that respects and values the unique traits of all employees and means that each employee can bring their authentic self to work.
Here are my top tips for developing an inclusive workplace:
Start at the top!
Like all workplace initiatives, engagement at a senior level is paramount. Senior leaders should understand and be able to define what being inclusive means and live by this day to day. Without this, developing an inclusive workplace just won’t happen.
In addition to this, senior leaders need to give some of themselves to their workforce and be authentic, as this will help others do the same. This isn’t always easy when you feel you need to keep everything private so as not to blur professional boundaries, but you can still strike a balance. By bringing your whole self to work and sharing the things in life you place value on, you will better connect with your workforce and show others that it’s safe for them to do the same.
Embed it into the organisation
Embedding inclusion into any organisation starts by considering it your mission and vision and ensuring it features in your organisation’s values and ambitions. To truly embed any initiative into an organisation not only requires robust policies and procedures but also ensures that inclusion is considered at every touch point in the employee life cycle. This is from attraction, during the recruitment process through to onboarding, induction, performance management, employee engagement and even when someone leaves the organisation.
Like all initiatives, it’s unlikely to stand the test of time without investment in awareness and engagement. This is why embedding training and development specifically to maintain an inclusive culture should be a continuous focus from induction and throughout an employee’s length of service.
Embrace diversity
Inclusivity is often considered to be the next step in supporting a diverse workforce so creating and embracing a diverse workforce is a great starting point for any organisation. Given that diversity is the collective mix of employee differences and similarities which, outside of any protected characteristics, even includes individual characteristics, values, beliefs, experience, backgrounds, preferences, and behaviours. On this basis, no matter where an organisation’s starting point is, every organisation has diversity in their workforce now. Understanding your workforce and getting to know your people is key to opening up an inclusive culture.
Think ‘employee experience’
Traditionally, organisations talk about employee engagement, referring to the strength of mental and emotional connection that employees feel towards the work they do, their teams and their organisation. Having a stronger focus on employee experience will not only enhance employee engagement but it also fosters a sense of belonging and community. This requires an organisation, its leaders, and managers to really think about the physical and psychological environment people work in. This includes the facilities and signage provided and used on-site; the way communication is managed and shared; language being adopted by everyone; celebrating a range of diverse events; awareness campaigns and dates in the calendar.
The employee experience also includes encouraging openness; welcoming and pro-actively seeking people’s thoughts, feedback and ideas; helping them build personal skills or introducing the right forums for those who may not be able to do this, to really enable a contribution by all. Ultimately, if everyone working for an organisation is more mindful of the employee experience it will enhance what it feels like to work there. The employee experience is everyone’s responsibility, not just senior leaders or managers.
Keep inclusion moving
Inclusion can’t be static; it needs to keep moving, evolve and continually develop over time. An organisation needs to stay closely connected to its workforce to ensure it continues to move with it. It’s key to make inclusion an intentional habit for everyone, meaning that employees are reminded of this on a frequent basis and it becomes part of the organisation’s DNA. Finding the best way to quantify and measure inclusion as an organisation is also a critical success factor.
