Dry Spring
Despite a week of hot and humid weather earlier this month, our spring has been dominated by cool norther westerlies and mostly dry conditions. We’ve seen plenty of showers, but they’ve been very light and brief and the burns and rivers are unusually low. We don’t know why, but the spring flowers this year are spectacular – especially on south-facing slopes and areas where the bracken hasn’t yet matured. Here are two shots from the Gruinard River – Wester Ross.
