Spectacular Winter Scenery

VisitScotlandAngela · November 2016

Scotland is world famous for it's beautiful scenery although I think there is something just a little bit more magical about the landscape when the snow falls on the hilltops...it just looks so beautiful!

I went for a wee stroll and took this picture of Ben Lomond from Duck Bay (at the southern end of Loch Lomond) on a frosty morning and it was just stunning!

Where are your favourite places to enjoy the winter scenery?

Great pic @VisitScotlandAngela! I took this photo on Braid Hills on the weekend. Such a beautiful, almost 360 view of Edinburgh up there and even better when you time it with the sun going down

I guess this view isn't specific to winter as it would be beautiful in summer too, but in winter you get the added buzz of crunching on ice underfoot and the twinkling lights that come much earlier in the day this time of year.

Lovely day for a walk on Saturday - nice to see the snow on the hills. This was from part of the Cateran Trail near Glenisla...

I love Scotland's winter scenery.

I I was absolutely blown away by a wintry Loch Katrine earlier this year. It was stunning. I raved about it for weeks and even wrote a blog about it
so I could rave some more.

Glencoe is also incredibly beautiful and pictureque in winter.

I loved this eagle carving on the BLiSS trail at Strathyre. It looked magical in the snow. I spent a lot of time in this area last winter in search of snow.

Here's my boy on the Munro, Ben Chonzie by Comrie. Another stunning spot in snow. I love this photo of him. He's like an Arctic explorer.

I'm heading for the Highlands this weekend and hoping to see my first snow of winter 2016/17.

Every time I pass here I take a picture not much changes apart from the snow but it's become a bit of a ritual for us.

@VisitScotlandBrian I'm the same - I went my length there last year when I got distracted snapping and slipped on black ice. Luckily I can laugh at myself. It helps as slipping in the great outdoors is a speciality of mine.

The Cairngorms are a must! Especially when you can explore on skis!

There are some great pictures here!

We've been lucky in having a settled weather pattern this last week, with deep snow on the hills, little wind and crystal clear air. I climbed a couple of Corbetts from Lochearnhead last weekend and savoured superb winter walking conditions, including a fantastic cloud inversion, a fogbow and snow up to our thighs.

Lots more photos and a short video on my blog.
