In winter a dusting of snow covers the highland peaks and the days are crisp, clear and bracing – great for tobogganing and cosy fireside evenings.
Summer months are warm, with lots of blue sky days, this is the time for fishing, canoeing and getting out on the water.
Autumn is fresh and cool with deciduous trees ablaze, in Spring the gardens are a highlight.
