Wild Weather Holidays

Long before any of the current discussions of climate change the weather has always fascinated us. From wondering if we were going to get soaked, to marvelling at the many moods of nature, weather watching has an enduring appeal, not to mention a special place in the British psyche – after all, there are few topics that complete strangers can talk about in such total safety!

The coastline around Banffshire, an hour or so north of Aberdeen, offers some of the most wild weather of mainland Britain. Here the winter storm winds driven across the North Sea from the Arctic make first landfall with severe gales common often accompanied by gusts well into hurricane-force.

Today’s weather watchers really can have the best of both worlds – enjoying the rugged lure of the wild, without having to risk life and limb to do it. You can sit in front of a warm & cosy fire in your self-catering cottage listening with intent fascination as the storm swirls past.

And of course, the Aberdeen & Grampian property pages on the EmbraceScotland website can help you find that perfect home to weather the storm.
