The best time to go to Scalloway is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is mildest and the days are longest.During this period, you can expect average temperatures ranging from 11°C to 15°C, with daylight lasting well into the evening, offering plenty of time for exploration. This is ideal for those who want to make the most of outdoor activities like wildlife spotting, boat trips to nearby islands, and exploring the Scalloway Castle ruins.Travellers interested in local culture and events will find this time particularly rewarding. The summer often features local regattas and community gatherings, providing a genuine insight into Shetland life. The prolonged daylight also makes driving around the island more pleasant, allowing for day trips to other parts of Shetland without feeling rushed.For visitors who prefer a quieter experience and are keen on observing the changing seasons, late spring (May) or early autumn (September) can also be excellent choices.
