Snow has dusted the tops of some of Scotland's highest hills and mountains.Meteorological summer started on Sunday, but cold air from the north has brought some chilly weather.

BBC Scotland weather presenter Judith Ralston said: "Snow on the hills of Scotland is not unusual in early June."The colder air has come down from Iceland and, with the strength of wind, it reached Scotland before getting much time to warm up."The cool conditions are expected to continue for the next few days, but the forecast is for the high winds to ease and fewer showers from Thursday.

Some of Scotland's mountains, including the Cairngorms, had snowfall around this time last June., more than 100 skiers took advantage of ski tows being open at the Cairngorm Mountain resort near Aviemore for the first time in midsummer.

Previously at this time of year people were able to ski in the Cairngorms, however, they had to trek to where the snow was.

Two temporary rope tows were provided over two days.Cairngorm Mountain, along with Scotland's other mountain ski centres, had benefited from lengthy periods of freezing conditions over the winter.
