Along that line, I am curious about the occurrence fohn winds in
Scotland. Is such a weather phenomenon possible in the mountains up
there?

I think a föhn effect in the lee of the Scottish mountains was apparent as
recently as last Monday. On that day - with a strong roughly WSW flow -
the mildest places in the UK were in NE Scotland, e.g. 12.1°C at Kinloss on
the south side of the Moray Firth.
