More gales and rain

[NorthernRaider]

Yeah I remember an article in that famous Sunday paper that used to be around the one with Ooor Wullie in it,I think it was that paper anyway ! This chap commented that in the 60s someone had said that the north western part of upper scotland could never sustain the fancy flora and fauna found growing in parts of Dumfries and Galloway such as certain palms and dates and fancy grasses, and now sheltered places right up the west coast of Scotland were now able to grow them in a least a limited fashion.
