💡 Good to know
- Long daylight suits public harbours, streets and coast viewpoints; parking, events, golf demand, tide and path conditions remain live checks.
- North Sea weather, tide and short daylight can constrain coastal paths; Dundee museums and ships are timed choices and do not replace the public winter baseline.
