I moved to the Highlands (Nairn) from Leigh on Sea at the beginning of last year. We are fortunate here in Nairn as we are in the 'shadows' of the mountains which tend to keep the rain and cloud and leave us with clear skies which is great for the aurora during the autumn and winter months. I was told that Nairn has its own microclimate before I moved here and, having spent the last 18 months here I have to say that it's true !
