I think it was P.C. Spink who did a report on Scottish snow survivals every

I read somewhere that in the climate of the mid-20th century, glaciers could
have existed on mountains over 5000 ft high in Scotland, had there been any
that high.

Hi, Norman,
Indeed it was P.(Paul?)C. Spink.
I think the text to which you refer is the one and only Climate and the British Scene (1952) where Manley wrote that the snowline in the Ben Nevis region would be 5,300ft, in the Lake District 5,900ft and 6,300ft in the Snowdon region.
