VIDEO: The first snow of winter has fallen in the Cairngorms

The north is basking in glorious sunshine today, just hours after the first snowfall of the autumn landed on the summit of Cairn Gorm.

A video has been uploaded on a social networking site showing a flurry of the white stuff on the 4,084ft Munro, near Aviemore, in the Cairngorms.

Tiny snowflakes can be seen falling onto the rocky terrain and landing on the back of a black glove.

And the man who posted the video said it was decidedly chilly up there at the time.
