Extract

This Note does not refer so much to those great thunderstorms which extend over hundreds of miles in each direction, as to those small local storms which are often seen of from two to five or six miles only in diameter.

It refers particularly to those which are seen, in summer and autumn, to pass down the Tay valley. They almost invariably come from the westward, and I am told each is almost always accompanied by a storm of similar dimensions passing eastwards down the valley of the Forth. So far as I can ascertain, they seem both to commence almost abruptly somewhere in the district about Ben Ledi and Ben Lomond.
