The Christmas snowstorms of 1906, with emphasis on the Scottish Highlands

[knocker]

Between the 26th-30^th  December, 1906 heavy snow hit much of Scotland and there was widespread snow elsewhere across Britain. Severe transport dislocation across northern Scotland (Aberdeen and other centres isolated for at least 3 days), and snow disruption elsewhere over Britain.  The following is an account of the storm in two parts concentrating on the Scottish Highlands.
