Days are long this time of year across the Atlantic in Scotland and the summer weather is beautiful

|

These beautiful shots of Scotland in the UK come to us from our friend Mark Vogan who
photographed these astride a canal outside Kirkintilloch. Summer is in full bloom in that
beautiful part of our world as you can see here. And the days are long. Scotland on the
other side of the Atlantic is a far north as Hudson Bay on the North American continent.
Mark tells us:

“We have daylight's first glimmers from as early as 3.15am to as late as 11.15pm (20
hours +). On clear night's we can have a glimmer of daylight on our northern horizon all
night, making for failure of complete darkness on some of our clearest midsummer
nights.”

Many thanks to Mark and his wife Karen for sharing these magnificent glimpses of
Scotland with us!

regime at the summit of Campsie Hills away from the city of Glasgow:
