My visit to Glencoe back in November left me hungry for more! The views up there are amazing but, all too often, the weather can impact on the images you're able to capture. I returned home determined to go back at the earliest opportunity - ie. in  January!

This time I went for a week, my thinking being that with a bit of luck, I'd see snow. I was not disappointed - I also saw frost, rain, hail, wind and even some sunshine! In other words, typical weather for Scotland.

Here's a selection of my favourite images - I hope you like them!
