Goodness, what a beauty. What sort of height are the hills in the
background?

In the pic Caerketton has a height of 1568'. This panorama
http://www.swanstonweather.co.uk/Ima...onPanorama.jpg has
Allermuir Hill 1617' as the highest point. The highest part of the
Pentlands is Scald Law (1900'), 5 miles SW of here.
They are Marilyns, apparently.

Some seriously cold and snowy places down there and in the Borders.
