Loch Ness Winter

Just over a month since the last Autumn post and the scene from the Studios looks decidedly wintry today. The promised snow heading down the country from the north west reached us yesterday with a fall of about 15cm overnight.
This picture was taken at about 9:30am today, less than 30 minutes after the official sunrise and you can see the hill on the other side of the Glen lit up by the sun.
We have just cleared the drive and the snow has just started again. Such is life.
The Great Glen Way will be very pretty today but few will see it, although we have some bookings for the "spring rush" of walkers.
Invermoriston has settled into winter mode now with weekly quiz nights at the Glenmoriston Arms, Carol Service in the Village Hall this week and the usual round of parties. Not many visitors taking advantage of a winter experience in the Studios.
Shortest day tomorrow so we can look forward again but there's Christmas and Hogmanay to see to first.
