Default Unusual High / Low temp in UK yesterday

No, for once not an error

I can confirm it was -9C locally east of Aboyne on Wednesday night and -5 on
Thursday morning. The temp rose to plus 8 by the time I had driven the 30mls
west to Braemar on the same morning.
Very localised cold and warm spots all over the place.

ie 0C on the top of the Cairn O Mount (1800ft) at 7pm on Wednesday night and
dropping to -9C in the glen floor along the River Feugh on the north side of
the Mounth and rising again to -4C on top of Corsedardar before falling
again to -9C in Glen Cat.

I noticed in the Daily Mail this morning that (according to them) the
highest/lowest UK temps yesterday we Altnaharra, Highland +11C and
Aberdeen -7C.

If Altnaharra (which often figures as the coldest UK location) was that
warm, (foehn effect?) wouldn't Aberdeen also have been similarly
affected - possibly more so, being more in the lea of the Highlands?

Or has the paper got its locations muddled up? I'd expected somewhere in
the Western Isles to be the warmest in the UK yesterday
