Snow in Scotland

Once we left Inverness we stopped off at Culloden battlefields where we paid an exorbitant amount of money to look through a museum and then spent about 2 minutes out in the actual battlefield. i don't know how those soldiers did it. it was the most freezing cold i have ever experienced (and its not even technically winter yet) as soon as i opened my umbrella one of the spokey do-dads snapped off and tried to stab itself into my eye and then the entire umbrella popped out the wrong way. the wind and rain were so hard and cold it physically hurt your face and hands to be outside. we quickly ran back in with a new respect for the soldiers who fought on those battlegrounds.

Ewen then started to drive in the general direction of South while i called hostel after guesthouse after hotel after B & B trying to find someone who had a triple room available for that night. eventually i found a place with spare rooms in Spittle on Glenshee. On the drive there we saw (and touched) snow which was very exciting! After a bit of a mishap where i realised at the last minute i had sent Ewen to Glenshee rather than Spittle on Glenshee (they were at opposite ends of the map so this called for an hours travel back in the direction we had come) we eventually made it to our hotel at about 6pm. I don't know if any of you have seen Hot Tub Time Machine but the ski lodge they stay in was very similar to this place. it was pretty much deserted but it was massive! There were as many staff as their were guests. We didn't do too much here, just had some dinner, admired the snow slush in the carpark and went to bed. The next morning we had to leave for Glasgow before getting to do any more exploring in the snow which was a big of a bugger but oh well.
