Inverness and the Moray area towards Elgin and south to Speyside is actualy quite good weatherwise. Affectionately known as the "Moray Riveria" due to the rather unique fine weather it enjoys, presumably being sheltered by the Highland and Grampian mountains. Quite often while the rest of the uk is being rained on cats and dogs, Moray is basking in glorious sunshine. Theres also the 'arse about face' to that though!!
