💡 Good to know
- Long daylight supports the coast and Deeside public circuits; castle and estate openings, path alerts and parking remain live checks.
- Snow gates and exposed roads can close in severe weather, while Dunnottar can close for wind; check the live route and keep high paths and paid interiors outside the baseline.
