Buildings & Bridges
V&A Dundee, Dundee (5103a)
What a fantastic looking building this is...a photographers dream or at least mine. Had a great night time visit in December 2018. I actually prefer nearly all of the b&w's to the colour photographs. A very cold night, but enjoyable.
Dunnottar Castle, Stonehaven (2994c)
Dunnottar Castle - this dramatic and evocative ruined cliff top fortress was the home of the Earls Marischal, once one of the most powerful families in Scotland.
Forth "Rail" Bridge, Port Edgar (5253b)
Decided to pay Port Edgar a visit and try and find a nice spot to photograph the new lights on the Queensferry Crossing bridge. Couldn't resist this shot whilst there. December 2018
Melrose Abbey, Melrose (1055)
Stunningly beautiful Melrose Abbey has been a place I have wanted to visit for some time. Chose a fantastic day to do so. Immense!
Dunglass Collegiate Church, Cockburnspath (0957)
Founded in the 1440's and dedicated to St. Mary. The church is set in beautiful grounds, and is also used as a wedding venue. Plenty of bluebells in the grounds to the left of this particular shot.
Kilmaveonaig, Blair Atholl (6507)
Kilmaveonaig Church, Blair Atholl. This wee village brings many happy childhood memories to me and will always have a special place in my heart.

Italian Chapel, Lambholm, Orkney (7653)
The beautiful highly ornate Catholic chapel. Built during World War II by Italian prisoners of war, who were housed on the previously uninhabited island while they constructed the Churchill Barriers to the east of Scapa Flow.
