I managed to take a few pictures of a Mammatus cloud formation over Caithness this morning. First time I have seen this type of cloud formation.

Thanks, If I had gone out a little bit earlier to feed the animals I may have managed to get some better pictures. The clouds disappeared into rain clouds within 10 minutes of me noticing them.

rain clouds came over afterwards - not sure how long they had been (over Thurso) I watched them for about 10 minutes while out feeding the animals.
