.... indeed notably cold. Since that list was produced, the Met Office
give the lowest found that night (12th/13th) at Kinbrace (Sutherland)
with -0.8°C, which looks reasonable given the location; although I
haven't got a complete list of 'all-time' values for the summer/autumn
months, IIRC the 'records' for early/mid July would be around -2°C, so
the Kinbrace value is certainly 'noteworthy'.
