Although no records broken for the hottest summer day, I still think this was probably our best summer in 9 years of record taking. All our outdoor events had good weather. My highlight of the year had to be band ‘ LA BOTTINE SOURIANTE’ playing in the Market Square under a big Caithness sky.
PS;- this is the coldest start to an October on record.
