While the focus this week has been on the torrents of floodwater sweeping the Highlands, up in the mountains, a few patches of snow are still managing to survive.

There are a number of snow patches left in Scotland, many in the Cairngorms.
Earlier this month, the Glencoe ski area planned to offer its first ski-ing in August but the event was called off due to bad weather.
