Snow patches in Scotland
Persistent Scottish formations of accumulated snowflakes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Long-lying snow patches in Scotland have been noted from at least the 18th century, with snow patches on Ben Nevis being observed well into summer and autumn. Indeed, the summit observatory, which operated from 1883 to 1904, reported that snow survived on the north-east cliffs through more years than it vanished. More recently, additional and methodical field study on the subject has been carried out by others, such as Iain Cameron a Scottish researcher and the ecologist Dr Adam Watson.
