Dreich and wet here again on Speyside today with, I believe, snow on the tops of the Cairngorms. Perhaps it’s the "the snow for the hinds calving" as Willie Elliot in Glencoe used to call a dusting of snow on the tops in late May / early June – can someone remind me of the Gaelic for that expression?
Can I correct a misconception that is going round, perpetrated by a mistake in the Press and Journal on Saturday last?
The Speyside Way extension, recently approved in principle by Roseanna Cunningham, Scottish Environment Minister, is going to Newtonmore not Kingussie as wrongly stated by the P&J. The inter-village rivalry is hot enough on the shinty pitch without a war breaking out over the terminus of the Speyside Way!
