"Scotland is one of the wettest places in Europe"

"Due to the mountainous topography of the western Highlands, this type

This all seems pretty normal.

I presume you have good boots ? I have an
excellent pair now, having for years used
inferior footwear and plastic bags for dryness.
Finally, I have one pair of footwear that doesn't leak.

Good boots will put a smile on your face.
