.... I see that the MetO he-

put 'Cassley' as the lowest with 2.5°C. I am ashamed to admit I had to
look up where 'Cassley' actually is (Sutherland / north of Scotland),
though I see from the maps (and a more general search on facilities
etc.) that the name (for the village) is given as 'Invercassley', so
perhaps this AWS is upriver, along the Cassley somewhere, not
necessarily at Invercassley - anyone familiar with the site?

Must admit that I had to look it up as well. I've never heard of the place. It
certainly is in a location where low minima will often occur. If Phil Gurr is
reading this he might be able to give a bit more info on the site. It's only
about 10 miles from him.

.... looking around further, particularly via the SEPA site, it looks
as if the site is co-located with the gauging station at the
confluence of the Cassley & Oykel - SEPA list it as being 'Rosehall'
which makes some sense if this is correct. Certainly a place for low
temperatures but probably beaten on many occasions by places such as
Altnaharra which is why the name hasn't registered with me. I see that
the station often comes up in rainfall studies.

It is, I believe, one of those awful misnomers. You can see it
here, with the AWS in the mid-left foreground. The site is
two-thirds of the way up Loch Shin, on the southwestern side ...
not even in Glen Cassley.

Sorry ... middle right foreground. I've never been able to tell
my left from my right.

On second thoughts, that's probably not the AWS, though I
wonder whether the white blob a little further to the, erm,
right, might be a screen. But the site is correct. It began
recording in 1977, and the NGR is given in the several
MWR introductions. The MO would not use the same name
for a different location.

Oddly, no. That side is the min, and this side is the max :-) I'm
predominantly left-handed, but I use a knife and fork right-handed,
a computer mouse right-handed, and I bat (not very well) right-handed.
