I can tell you it was pretty cold in central Scotland too!

I hope you’re staying warm and cosy

Temperatures here can get as low as those mentioned for Scotland today, rare but they can happen.

2 scam calls received so far this morning within 5 minutes of each other. First was a repeat of that Amazon card call about an order for £1049.
Second was "Roger" offering business loans to me. Typically, anyone accepting such a loan would find that they had to pay a substantial up front charge so although the interest rate might seem low, the true cost is a lot higher.

Very attractive area but can get really cold.

Moonie, Braemar is one of the main locations in Scotland for the highland games events when they are held and is the one where the royal family attend.
