Seemingly, in the UK the record is -26.1�C at Newport, Shropshire, on 10 January 1982.

That is according to http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/eliasson/facts.htm but I would imagine that in some parts of the highlands, where there are no recorders, it would get lower. Ballater has recorded -25�C and that isn;t even at the top of a mountain.

The lowest temperature recorded in the UK was -27.2C at Braemar in the Grampians, on January 10 1982 and Altnaharra, Highland on 30 December 1995.
We'd better tell the Tate Modern website then.

Yep, I guess someone should contact the Tate Modern website. TheCorbyLoon's figure is given on the Met Office's website (as well as many other websites):

Yep...definitely accepted that it was Braemar with -27 Celcius.  That's cold!!

Not just Braemar apparently......

Lowest recorded -27.2 �C at Braemar (Aberdeenshire) on 11 February 1895 and 10 January 1982. -27 �C was also recorded at Altnaharra (Highland) on 30 December 1995.

But I bet if you put a thermometer on my wife's shoulder just after a row, the mercury would freeze!!!!!
