Scotland doesn't have an average rainfall figure......Dundee or Aberdeen will have about half the rainy days of Fort William.
I do remember my first Winter in Glasgow though.......I honestly thought it would never stop!!

Yes, had a look at the average uk rainfall on the met site and it quotes 150 for the dry areas and 200+ for the wet areas, so that is where the guesstimate comes from.

Horrific isn't it! They seem to be reverting back to the winter's we had as children (only it doesn't snow as much!)

Yes, 15m from the car to the house and you are saturated!

Where are you off to nice then?
I haven't read all the replies on this thread but we are leaving as we want a better life for all of us especially the kids. The weather is rubbish in England and it's overcrowded!!!. You can't plan anything in advance because the weather is so crap...where we are looking at going to the weather is nice and hot with a few rainy days a year. The housing here is awkward. People live ontop of each other and I fell crime has spiralled out of control. It's not for us...hoping and praying our new life is more than expected.
