Really changeable weather at Rothiemurchus today; showers of rain followed by bright sunshine. At least it’s a bit warmer. More signs of spring can be seen with leaf emerging on trees like horse chestnut, larch and bird cherry. Flowers are beginning to appear and clusters of the delicate wood anemone are scattered through birch woodland. Hoping to get rid of some of the winter woollies soon but there’s an old Scottish saying: ‘Ne’er cast a cloot or May is oot’. (For those less versed in the Doric: Never cast aside clothing until May is finished).
