Longannet Power Station on the Upper Forth in the east of Scotland , with the snow-covered Ochil Hills in the background , where the frost failed to lift all day. The Longannet chimney now takes the accolade of being the tallest free-standing structure in Scotland after the Inverkip Power Station stack was demolished on 28th July 2013.
