Acer Leaf Problems

Good morning everyone. I have 3 beautiful acers in my garden but recently have noticed all 3 have a problem with their leaves (see pictures). My initial thoughts were leaf scorch but they are not particularly dry or curled and the problem is not particularly affecting the leaf margins as is typical of leaf scorch. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong with them and how to fix it - I’d hate to loose them - they’re so beautiful. Any ideas gratefully received. Thanks

    It's highly likely to be weather damage. Sun after frost mainly, or cold, drying wind - something they hate. 
    Many areas had some low temps recently, and in a lot of cases, the plants weren't accustomed to that. The dark ones are more susceptible, and it's also more noticeable on them.
    I wouldn't worry too much. Those leaves will drop off, and be replaced, or hidden by the rest  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
