Nine pictures that remind us why we want a white Christmas this year

Snow in Aberdeen

In seven days time we’ll all be free from the grind of work, opening gifts and stuffing our faces with seasonal food.

But will the festivities be accompanied by a White Christmas?

Over the years we’ve been blessed with beautiful snowy scenes across the north of Scotland.

Bookies however have slashed the odds of snowfall on December 25 with just a 3/1 chance for Aberdeen, leaving this year’s White Christmas in pictures.

1) Aberdeen

2) Drum Castle, Drumoak

WC-DRUM-CASTLE.jpgOk, so this snap is from a white Easter.

But with Easter eggs already in the shops, building a snow bunny at this time of year won’t be a problem.

 

3) Ben Nevis

4) Cairngorms

6) Aberdeen

It’s also the best snow angel we’ve ever seen.

 

7) Alford

8) Garlogie
