Winter in Scotland









Some photos of our yard under frosty conditions. The air is so damp that any drop in temperature causes frost to form on everything, but it has stayed green all winter - a nice change from Minnesota. The other pictures are from our favorite local park called the Pentlands - it is filled with over 30 circuit hikes. The walks are much more varied than back home. On the same walk, you might walk alongside sheep or horses, go straight up a hill, see a waterfall, pass really old cottages, or through small villages. Sometimes it is very muddy and you have to be creative (see how the girls got arond a muddy stretch).
