This is our seventeenth annual report on the survival of Scottish snow patches, following that for 2011 in Cameron et al . (2012). Field observations by enthusiastic amateurs, many carrying tape‐measure and notepad, form the basis of the report. The number of observers increases yearly, as does the information reported back to the authors, providing an excellent base for future years. Unattributed observations are by authors IC , AW and DD , information from others being personal communications. Measurements of patches give greatest length, breadth and depth in that order. The website www.winterhighland.info again facilitated the collation of information, and much of what is in this paper was first reported there.
