Off on our travels again but the weather isn’t settled enough to entice us very far north, so we’ve stopped off at our usual spot near Loch Tay for the time being. Apparently, snow has fallen on the hills on seven consecutive days but not here as far as I can tell. Not yet!

I remember after experiencing a surprise sudden white-out descending from Meall a Choire Leith we arrived in Killin to find a summer's day. People strolling about in shorts and enjoying ice-cream. We told the lady in a shop about the snow up on the tops. It was perhaps August. She replied with dour Scottish wisdom "Aye, and it'll be like that now for the rest of the year."
The Scottish lady demonstrated the optimistic outlook for which we Scots are well known Conrad! I well remember coming back to Glen Coe from a very hot two day trip into Knoydart to learn that MRTs had been out in the Cairngorms after blizzards had caught a lot of people out. We had the caravan at a site in Glen Coe and next morning the peaks were plastered white. It didn’t last very long though.
