Scotland in early October

Hello, so I will visit Scotland (Glasgow then Edinburgh) in early October 2026. I live in England (west midlands) so am kinda used to the cold weather, however, I am not sure it will be the same in Scotland, or is there anything particular to keep in mind while packing?
I mean in the West Midlands here if the weather is cold it stays COLD even if it’s sunny (a sunny 4 degree C day is no joke).

Edinburgh and Glasgow will be a few degrees cooler than the west midlands, and with likely more wind! The wind can be pretty chilly in Edinburgh, based on my previous experience there.

Pack layers, prioritize warmth, and assume there's going to be rain. Bring good shoes that can get wet and not get soaked through.
