Morning Snow in Inverness

Morning Snow in Inverness

We finally decided if we’re going to be on vacation during record cold temperatures, we should “embrace the suck snow” and appreciate the beauty of winter. As we drove from Inverness to Glasgow, we took a detour to the Nevis Mountain Range  The Nevis Mountain Range has the tallest mountain in the UK: Ben Nevis.
