Hogmany in the Highlands!

Happy New Year to everyone! We hope you have a very Happy & Healthy 2010!

Our guests who stayed with us over Hogmany and into the New Year had some stunning weather, bright blue skies and snow covered mountains. Here are some pictures of some guests actually fishing in the Loch.





As you can see by these pictures it is very clear but very cold! The temperatures haven't got above freezing for about 3 weeks now and we are starting to see the consequences with frozen pipes and the risk of running out of water is getting closer. The stream where we get our water from is freezing up, most of our neighbours who are on a private water supply have also ran out! It is not expected to get any better over the next few weeks.
Everyone around the country seems to be suffering and I think compared to some areas, particularly the East coast we have come off quite lightly. Although there is a lot of snow on the ground most of that has been frozen for a couple of weeks and we have not had much new snow, so the main roads are clear.

Some people very happy about the weather conditions are the Ski centres, Nevis Range reporting a great ski season so far www.nevisrange.co.uk Have a look at their site for all the details of the conditions and various runs.

Hope everyone keeps warm and we look forward to seeing many of you in the coming year.
