Known as a cloud inversion, the spectacular weather event occurs when the air near the ground is cooler than the air above it.

Captured atop of Munros Ben Oss and Ben Dubhcraig, walkers spent much of the ascent under cloud, before ascending above 850 metres where it was possible to see Ben Nevis 50 kilometres away.
