   Er, yes? It’s very common for the summits of the Cairngorms to stay snow-covered year-round.

       So how old is that snow? Didn’t it stop snowing 10 years ago?

     I wonder how many vineyards there are in Scotland right now.

     Yes you are quite right, Peter. The Cairngorms are pretty much the same as they were in 1967.

   The Cairngorms are only 4,000 ft., not exactly Mt. Everest. It would be surprising if they were snow covered the year round. Maybe a freak summer snow once in a great while, but I doubt if it is “very common”.
