THURSDAY 18th AUGUST

HEADLINES @ 0830Hrs
A dry, but cloudy start to the day & there was some valley mist earlier. There are a number of showers to the N.E. moving away. More are expected to develop later. Check on raintoday.co.uk for the latest situation. Yesterday, we largely escaped showers, which made for a welcome change.  The weekend weather isn't looking too bad---we deserve nothing less!!
REMEMBER THE SERIES OF CRUISE PHOTOS BELOW. WE ARE CURRENTLY ON ORKNEY AT SKARA BRAE.
