Cottage Diary - Aspenwood self catering luxury Holiday Cottage overlooking Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland.

Experienced several days and nights of freezing temperatures and an extremely sharp frost. The ground and all the plants were beautifully covered in a thick white frost so it was almost a 'white christmas'. The bird bath froze over constantly and all wildlife was looked after especially well. The beach was no exeption and every rock and pebble was covered with frosty grass-like fronds which can be seen more clearly in these close up shots..
