Snow was seen at the top of the cliffs in September 2007.

Spring 2007 heralded by September snow falls

Claire Volkwyn has sent this early morning picture showing a dusting of spring snow at about 500 metres / 1500 feet above sea level on the upper slopes of cliffs backing the Settlement of Edinburgh. Two months into the 2007/8 fishing season summer seems a long way off as early risers (some fishing factory staff start at 6am) have an unusual white backcloth for their walk to work.
