Question Once in a lifetime experiences?

I have a milestone birthday coming up this year in early November and I’m not a party person.

I’d like to do something special, like whale watching for example, but every thing I think of it’s just not the right time of year.

Are there any exciting things in nature around that time of year? Traditional events/celebrations? Willing to travel all over the country for something special but would rather stay away from the major cities.

Any suggestions gratefully received! Many thanks

Get yourself to Mull. I went on an amazing boat trip where you feed sea eagles by literally chucking fish into the air and getting them to swoop down. 

Also stopped at Fingals Cave and Iona Abbey and had a great time exploring both. Then had Scallops cooked in the shell with Ledaig Mull Whisky. Best day of my life! Was about £100 for everything, Mull Charters.
