Answer 1

I live in Scotland . Have a look at the Historic Scotland web site. You can take out memnership ( details on web site ) it is relatively cheap and gives you free admission to all their  buildings  including places like Stirling and Edinburgh Castles You will note from the web site you can check out what events are scheduled  for October There are costume pageants at Stirling and Edinburgh .

Answer 3

if you want to do a lot in a short time then a tour is a good option, but be aware that you'll be with a lot of other tourists and may not meet that many "real" Scottish people ... cheaper is to do it yourself by local public transport which will probably mean that you won't get to see so many places, but you might get a better feel for what Scotland is really like and meet some normal ordinary Scots
