That's what I was hoping for and instead we got cold rain. Must we go to Scotland for decent snow!?

lovely set of pics

Thanks MaggieD - my fingers were frozen, but worth it! T - unfortunately I think you might have to! Bit of a distance though just for a snowball fight and a bit of sledging.

well, a trip to Scotland is planned for summer 2009 though we're unlikely to get any snow.

You never know ;) . Where are you planning to visit?

We haven't got that far yet but it is likely to be a bit of a road trip/tour. Have a few vague ideas about going to Tobermory and Loch Ness. May e-mail you for recommendations.

Oh, definitely Loch Ness, and the Black Isle. West coast is beautiful too, if you can hack the midges! Drop me an email and I can definitely recommend some lovely places closer to the time.
Maybe you'll find time to go past Aberdeen and drop in for coffee and 'butteries'!

I will drop you a line PJ for personal tips. Planning is half the fun. And a visit to Aberdeen for coffee would be just the ticket.

That's a proper snow, have the same here. :)
