Well I'm currently on a research trip on behalf of Ancient Scotland Tours. I think their latest website update sums it up quite nicely.

"....Well the first signs of spring are on their way. The weather is glorious, wall-to-wall sunshine with just a few white fluffy clouds above the mountains, the resident robin has become obsessively territorial over 'his' bird table and snowdro...ps are starting to carpet the woods. Time to think of a wee trip to the Highlands perhaps, to admire its inherent beauty??? If so, give us a call and let us help you experience one of the most beautiful places on earth......"
