Stob Dearg, Glencoe (5469)
The unmistakable Stob Dearg and bothy - one of the Munro's making up Buachaille Etive Mor. Glencoe is so atmospheric, jaw dropping and inspiring. Beautiful yet raw.

A cracking sunset from North Berwick, East Lothian. I had gone for a small tour of the county and wanted to end up here just in case. I wasn't disappointed! In this shot, the boat and crew are from the North Berwick Rowing Club.
Loch Eriboll, Sutherland - (6167)
On a trip up north to Caithness, I simply couldn't resist another trip across to Sutherland. The day was fantastic and the scenery STUNNING. Taken in January 2019.
Kilchurn Castle, Loch Awe (6168c)
What a brilliant visit to Loch Awe. I spent a short time on the shore waiting for the odd passing sliver of golden light. Well worth the wait.
Stunning watching it all unfold.

Brough of Birsay, Orkney (7035)
The Brough of Birsay, , an uninhabited tidal island off the north-west coast of mainland Orkney. A fantastic place to see Puffin's, when in season. It also features the remains of Pictish and Norse settlements as well as a modern day lighthouse.
Thinking of Home, The Hermitage (5962}
While walking along the path I saw this particular scene and simply had to try and capture it (I did seek permission of the person sitting on the bench).
She was sitting, listening to the sounds of the water while thinking of home.
I really love this image.

Strathy Lighthouse, Sutherland (3623)
I sat on this cliff top for at least an hour, on my own, watching the sun set unfold. What a brilliant spectacle. Total bliss. Taken 17th May 2019.
River Garry, Perthshire (5930)
Taken from the bridge over the River Garry, hence the shadow. Sun was behind me when taking this shot.

Stunning and I simply love this reflective shot.

Strathy Lighthouse, Sutherland (3701z)
I sat on a nearby cliff top for at least an hour, on my own, watching the sun set unfold. What a brilliant spectacle. Total bliss. As I moved off back to the car I saw this view point and had to take another photograph. Taken 17th May 2019.
Dunnottar Castle, Aberdeenshire (3015a)
A different view of the castle than we normally see in photographs. Well worth taking the time to walk along the coastal path for this side on view of the impressive Dunnottar Castle and the Aberdeenshire coast.
John O'Groats Harbour, John O'Groats (8406a)
This was a lovely sunset evening at John O'Groats. Unfortunately there were quite a few midgie flying round but that didn't stop me wandering round for different shots. Taken on 19th July 2019.
Churchill Barrier, Orkney (7634)
There are a series of four causeways in Orkney, with a total length of 1.5 miles. The barriers were built in the 1940s primarily as naval defences to protect the anchorage at Scapa Flow, but now serve as road links, carrying the A961 road from Kirkwall to Burwick.
Tongue, Sutherland - (6153)
On a trip up north to Caithness, I simply couldn't resist another trip across to Sutherland. The day was fantastic and the scenery STUNNING. Taken in January 2019.
River Moriston Viewpoint, Invermoriston (4113)
The stunning colours either side of the River Moriston, taken late October 2017.
Kilchurn Castle, Loch Awe (6168b)
All the other images posted on this page are in colour - especially given the golden slivers of light and sky but this particular scene lends itself very well, in my view, to black and white. The moody looking sky, differing levels of shade and light - wonderful!

Stunning vista looking to Mull from McCaig's Tower, Oban.
Kilchurn Castle, Loch Awe (6174)
