Did you know that Braemar is officially the coldest place in Britain? The lowest ever recorded temperature in the country has been registered twice in the Aberdeenshire village: On February 11 1895 and January 10 1982 the thermometer at Braemar dropped to -27.2 Celsius. Its mean temperature is a mere 6.5 Celsius. Not sure I’d fancy a kilt worn in the traditional manner.
