Показать описание
Were you around for the Big Freeze of 1963?

It was the coldest winter in the UK since 1740, with Scotland experiencing temperatures as low as -22°C. For three long months, the mercury hardly rose above zero, thick ice covering Loch Lomond and parts of the Clyde, and many brave souls ventured out onto the ice.

Join Paul Murdoch as he shares his memories of this frosty time in this episode of our Take a Minute series, supported by National Lottery Heritage Fund Scotland.

I remember it well in London. I don't think I would have dared on the ice!

I remember it well and the big thaw also.
We, as kids, walked doon the river Ayr for about a mile, rapids as well were frozen.
Funnily enough, i didn't think it lasted as long as it actualy did😂
Magical memories just the same👍🏻
