Yorkshire was filling up with snow as we left, and once in Scotland, the A9 south of Inverness was closed due to the bad weather. We persevered and did a detour over to the west coast where there wasn't any snow, only gale force winds. We've been hugely lucky here. No snow or overcast days, just very cold but dry, and periods of sunshine and bright blue skies. Some parts of the Highlands have been so dry they are dealing with wildfires. The weather does seem very strange of late!

What contrasts of weather you drove through on your journey north. Like you, we seem to be in a snow-free pocket in Edinburgh. Although you seem to be blessed with more sun than us. Is the sun actually brighter in Ullapool? It always looks like that from your blog!
Kept an eye on the weather forecasts and noticed that the NW coast seemed to be clear of snow and actually had 'sunshine' on the weather maps!
My goodness, Annie! What a series of pictures. Every one is beautiful and interesting on its own but much more significantly they tell such a remarkable story when put together. You're a fantastic picture story teller.
[That said, the first picture almost makes me giddy to look at it....it's a knockout!]
Linda, I don't know if the sun is brighter in Ullapool - probably not! But there is little or no pollution in the air, maybe that makes the difference? We are certainly enjoying the blue skies while we have them.

What a lovely comment. Thank you very much.
I just looked at some of your past photos – what a beautiful landscape! I always wished to visit Scotland and have been to England numerous times, but never to Scotland. Yes the weather is strange – we usually get at least one or two days of snow during the winter here in the Deep South, but have not had any in two years.
Blue sky!! We started off with blue sku yesterday, but it didn't last long enough to take a photo! Still very cold here ..... a good excuse to light the fire in the studio and sew!!
