It may have rained heavily in some parts of Scotland, but it has
not been universally wet. It was warm and sunny here all
afternoon after a dull morning with some light drizzle. I flew
in bright sunshine, and below clouds whose bases were a mere
2500 or so feet above sea level. It rained briefly in the early
evening but has dried up again now.

On the sunny southern shores of the Moray Firth, and a very long
way from Fair Isle.

I got back yesterday from a glorious week in the NW Highlands. Saw no
more than a spot of drizzle on two mornings.
