I returned home to the Highlands after many years to find my childhood memories challenged. Inverness and the East coast of the Highlands in my memory is dry, at least much much dryer than the West central belt where I lived for many years. Winters were colder with more snow but now we see warmer wetter weather. Even the "lambing snow" doesn't seem to be a regular event.
It's hard to be objective but I'm certain I can see change.
