Deep soft snow today. Calm. Cold. Drifting mists. Trees appearing and disappearing. Magical, mysterious. #snow #winter #strathspey
Thick snow falling most of today. Big flakes! Now knee deep. #winter #snow #strathspey #scottishhighlands
How the light changes. Photos taken 90 minutes apart this afternoon. #snow #strathspey #cairngorms
Deep soft snow, blizzards, snowshoes today for local 'walk'. Very hard going to not get very far. But satisfying. #snow #winter #Strathspey #scottishhighlands
Out in the snow again, this time on skis. Flat light and drifting clouds gave a soft, slightly unreal feel to the landscape. #snow #xcski #strathspey
A wander in the snow today. Lovely winter conditions. #snow #strathspey #scottishhighlands
A wet few days on the Burma Road/Kinrara Estate. Not much in the way of views high up but some dramatic clouds over Strathspey from lower down. #Strathspey #cairngorms
The mild autumn & the gorgeous colours continue. #autumn #trees #cairngorms #strathspey
Autumn is fading into winter but there is still a last glorious flourish of colour on the trees. #autumn #trees #cairngorms #strathspey

Boat of Garten Steam Rally
A balmy highland day at Boat of Garten railway station hosted a small but fascinating steam rally complete with steam trains and a variety of traction engines.

Boat of Garten is on the Strathspey railway, and the name comes from an ancient ferry across the river Spey.
