Hello, yes Scotland has had very mild weather in the past couple of years. We live on the North-East Coast up beside Inverness so we are 'lowlanders' but although the Highlands had snow this year, we had none at all, very strange for our part of the world, i can remember going to school in 2 foot of snow, now very little...God bless....
I'd not realised how the Highlands border ran before. I'd have for example placed Aberdeen in the Highlands.
I was once extremely cold in Scotland but didn't see snow. A couple of us decided to go to John O Groats on a motorbike in the winter of 81-82. Weather seemed OK when we left N Wales. We turned back at Invermoriston.
Had a couple of good childhood holidays in Scotland. The first when I was about 9 was mostly spent around the Campbeltown area and the second when I was say 15 was mostly spent on the Isle of Skye.
