Best time to go
I’m planning on booking the England, Scotland and Wales small group tour next year. What’s the best time to go?

May and June. The local children are still in school, though there are two holidays in May, so it’s busy from Saturday until Monday evening. Gardens are lovely and the evenings stay light much later than in the US, up to10 pm in England and 11pm In Scotland.
Unless you want to see some special event like the Military Tattoo in Edinburgh, then August is your time.
August in Scotland is definitely not the time to go, I’ve lived there!
Was just in Scotland in July and the weather was pretty awful. Our TD (who lives in Scotland) said May was the best month there for weather.
I was there in August several years ago and in Edenborough and went to the Tattoo and the Fringe was also going on. Perfect timing for that. Weather wasn't bad the entire trip. A little rain here and there, but it's the UK, so that's expected.
