Back in Scotland and it's (almost) snowing!

24 hours from now and I will be on the plane heading back to Geneva it's been a quick visit but its been good to be back.
Cold and windy in Edinburgh today and there is snow on the hills to the south. The forecast for the highlands is for a pretty good fall, good for the skiing and late season touring.
This is a great time to visit Scotland. Ok the weather is not great but you don't come here fOr the climate at any time of year. There are very few visitors so you are not fighting through the crowds on the Royal Mile and Princes St.
The wildlife is getting going, birds coming back, read reports of an Osprey spotted near Aviemore. The gannets are coming back to he Bass Rock. Go and take a boat trip round the Bass. Great views, history (Scotlands Alcatraz according to Neil Oliver)and more birds than you can shake a stick at.
Come to Scotland in the spring, it's great!
