Funnel cloud or not?
This unusual cloud formation was spotted from the viewpoint at the Ptarmigan Cafe on Cairngorm.  It might be a funnel cloud, it was only visible for a few minutes.  These events do happen in the British Isles but are quite ephemeral and rarely touch the ground.  [url=http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=300447&Y=804907&A=Y&Z=120/] Map location. [/url]
