Snowfield in July on Ben Macdui

Snowfield in July on Ben Macdui.

Hard to believe that there is still snow in the Cairngorms in July. The skiers had a great season last winter and the snow still won't go away. Aviemore was chock a block with skiers - it's just as well there's a great choice of accommodation from luxury lodges through to bunkhouse accommodation.

This snowfield is on the East slopes of Ben Macdui, the second highest mountain in Scotland and indeed Great Britain.
