Scotland threatens to lose long-lasting piece of snow

Scotland threatens to lose its longest part of snow by melting.

It was only in 1933, 1953, 1959, 1996, 2003 and 2006 that there was no more snow in Scotland. 'It's always disappointing if eventually everything melts, but yes, sometimes things happen,' says Iain Cameron, who monitors the amount of snow for The Scotsman for the Royal Meteorological Society. 'Probably we have to wait next year to see it again. '

This weekend, Cameron goes to the 'Sphinx', hoping to watch 'natural wonder'.
