Running in Scotland in February
Thinking of a run in Scotland in February ? Visit Scotland informs us that December, January and February are generally the coldest months in Scotland, with the average maximum temperature usually around 5°C (41°F). The average number of days with snow falling in Scotland ranges from 15 to 20 days.
So it looks like February is a bit of a brilliant month for taking running pictures and there does seem to be a good variety in our collection. Perhaps the strength of the sunshine helps in terms of lighting and of course we are in the last winter month.
