I have frequently told people in recent months about how wet and nasty Scotland is at this time of year. The snow comes usually in the new year and the days around christmas are dark and dreary. This year that does not appear to be the case. Currently there is about 10 inches of snow outside, the country is in a state of emergency (as no-one carries snow chains) and I am about to go canoeing. I have managed a couple of wintery things and here are the photos for the non - believers that Scotland gets snow.
