Snow in Scotland!!!


It does not snow in Scotland... ever. Sometimes in the higher up mountains there is a little bit of winter wonderland-esk flurries, but usually it is just rain... lots and lots of rain.
IT SNOWED YESTERDAY FOR 10 MINUTES! I think it was closer to hail (quite painful to experience) but nevertheless it looked like snow!
Twas brilliant!
Upon researching snow in Scotland I came across the Highland Cow... also known as "Hairy Coo" or "Heilian Coo." They are an ancient Scottish breed of beef cattle with long outward spreading horns and long wavy pelts colored black, brindled, red, yellow, or dun.

I shall go to the Highlands this weekend to find one!
