Heavy snow just started up in the last 1/2 hour in the Pentlands near Edinburgh with nice big flakes... see the webcam

It's a white-out up above Edinburgh in the Pentland Hills!  Pentland Hills Webcam at Eastside Farm Holiday Cottages  We've had a few cm of settling snow in the last few hours...

I'm envious - it's a lovely location - been up walking there a few times.  Here's a photo I took this summer (it's looking very different on the cam at the moment!):

 

 

Lovely picture - and yes it does look a little different now!  You're looking down on Eastside Farm there from the hill we call Pinky - the Kips are in the left of the frame, Scald Law (the highest point in Pentlands in the middle) and the South Black Hill to the right.  A great spot for a walk - though maybe not today!

We live just a few meters from the Pentland Hills webcam at Eastside Holiday Cottages and I can confirm that the snow is coming down heavily!  Some of the biggest flakes I've seen for quite some time with visibility low and it's starting to settle...
