Autumn colour timing in Great Britain from past years

I live in Northern England at 54.9 degrees North. In Canada this is winter icebergs and polar bears but here thanks to the North Atlantic Drift snow is infrequent and temperature below 20F is thought to be very cold. The coldest temperature that I have experienced in Scotland -13F but that was exceptional.

Northern Scotland 57.2N
Glen Affric 14th October still some green trees on the right, the trees on the left are pines and larches



Blackwater River 16th October

Further South than this and the colours are much less developed
Perthshire 56.7N Castle Menzies 15th October colours ok but still lots of green


Perthshire 56.7N 28th October yes people go for a dawn dip in a cold Scottish loch. I was wearing a down jacket and lined trousers and wasn't overly warm.




Castle Menzies 28th October


Cumbria 54.9N
River Derwent Borrowdale 25th October, nice colours but half of the hillside hasn't changed.


Borrowdale 30th October


Borrowdale 1st November still lots of Green


and on the same day 1/2 mile away


Lastly my local woods 12th November


We are off to Perthshire on Thursday, unfortunately we will have had three recent 80mph+ storms so the leaves may well be gone when we get there, always another year.

I really like that Blackwater River waterfall shot!

Gorgeous scenes up there. I really like the fall colors in all of these scenes and agree with Michael on the Blackwater River shot. I like the reflections in the Lochs and the last shot with the carpet of leaves along the path.

Ken, beautiful photos and the scenery of Glen Affric and the Blackwater River is gorgeous!

Lovely fall scenery.

So beautiful! Thanks for all of those locations and dates. I do hope the wind hasn't stripped the trees bare of leaves before you get there.

Gosh, these are beautiful! So your thread is quite timely as my wife and I would like to visit Scotland in October of 2028. I understand there is a fall holiday around this time and lodging can be difficult. Could you share anything you know about this?
