Hi Michael
41F is 9 degrees Fahrenheit above 32, the freezing point, so is equal to
5°C...
Now it appears that average yearly temperature in Scotland ranges from 7 to
9°C. If we say 8°C then that is 46.4°F... (Somewhere on the net someone
wrote that the Glamis Castle cellar was between 41 and 45...?)
Perhaps you might be able to check with Broadbent or Christies whether they
have any notes about that?
Best
Anders
