This loch is a short distance from our campsite. Despite living in the UK, I’ve never explored Scotland until now. The 9 hour drive was definitely worth it. This scenery is breathtaking and like nothing I’ve seen before. This particular loch had really quiet areas, as if you are at one with nature. On the other side is a beach, cafe and water sports hire making it perfect for families. It reminded me of trips to Cornwall but this ‘sea’ is surrounded by breathtaking mountains.

After a long hike through the Scottish Highlands, we stumbled into the owners of this house who were shooting partridge. They offered us to stay for dinner (which was partridge pie) but I settled on just taking a photo instead!

On the way to the Summit of Ben Macdui we went from cold and wet to very cold and full of rime, ice and snow the closer we got to the summit. Happily the sun was out and thus it was a fine day out in the hills!

The Devil’s Point was our first Munro on our trip to the Cairngorm National Park in Scotland. It’s an easy Munro with great view over to Ben Macdui and back down over the River Dee.

Up in the Scottish Highlands these majestic animals roam freely within their landscape. Docile, loud and unapologetically stubborn yet beautiful all the same. This one labelled as ‘100’ was caught just before a loud ‘moo’ in my direction.

Sunset at Eilean Donan Castle, near Kyle of Lochalsh, Scotland. The clouds in the marshy lowtide made for a wonderful reflection. Shot on 35mm film.

I have been captivated by Suilven from the first moment I saw this majestic mountain from a distance. It rises dramatically from the landscape, dominating the area around it, in the north west highlands of Scotland. It is not easy to reach, with fairly long approaches from all sides. I set out to run to and climb Suilven early one summer morning. I was greeted with this sight on a minor road near Lochinver. This is already a landscape like no other. Add in the mist and it is even more intoxicating. #itsgreatoutthere

I’m a huge fan of HP so visiting the Glenfinnan viaduct was at the very top of my bucket list for our trip to Scotland. I was hoping to see the steam train but unfortunately it didn’t ride on the weekend. I was a little disappointed in myself for not checking in advance but Scotland’s weather made it up with us. We knew there was a storm coming up and it came from the hills behind the viaduct. So we really saw the storm coming for us. It was absolutely stunning and I’m glad I managed to get this dramatic shot. We didn’t get soaked, we made it back to the car just in time :-)

This is my image of Lochan na h-achlaise in Scotland just off the A82. I was travelling in a camper van for the weekend on the search for some scenic places in my homeland and when I came across this I just had to take a photo and I am so pleased with the end result

We were coming back from Glen Etive after photographing the wild deer and 2 guys were getting their kayaks ready to go into the water. I asked if I took take some videos of them with my DJI Spark and they Kindly said yes. I wasn’t sure if I was actually going to be able to get the drone in the air as it was extremely windy. Luckily I got some footage and a few photos as they went down the rapids.

Just when you think Glencoe can’t get more picturesque… you come across this little hut beside a river, with the dramatic clouds of the Scottish highlands as the backdrop.

The Scottish Highlands in the early morning, the weather wasn’t the best but the views definitely were. The clouds came rolling in over the mountains for the entirety of the journey to Fort William. The most photos I’ve taken in one sitting for sure.

Scotland is well known for its highlands consisting of lochs and mountains. However most of the time the weather there is cloudy and rainy. Upon my first visit to this picturesque place I was lucky enough to experience the scenery in this beautiful weather and managed to get a picture of this landscape with hikers in the foreground.

Our b&b host took us to this pearl in a December morning, just before we had to catch our bus back to Edinburgh. It was the greenest and most peaceful place on earth.

You climb the mountain in an equilibrium between restlessness and exhaustion. Then, when you’re no longer thinking ahead, each step isn’t just a means to an end but a unique event in itself. This leaf has jagged edges, this rock looks loose, the snow is closer. These are things you should notice anyway. To live only for some future goal is shallow. It’s the sides of the mountain which sustain life, not the top. Here’s where things grow. But of course without the top you can’t have any sides. It’s the top that defines the sides.

I was in Glen Coe in May and when I was on the road, I saw this beautiful mountain !
