Lt. General Wade’s Bridge at Aberfeldy in the Breadalbane region of Highland Perthshire (Breadalbane means “Highland Scotland” in Gaelic). Shot taken on Saturday 20th December 08 in the middle of our winter. Designed by William Adam, Scotland’s best architect. The total cost was £3,596 or, in today’s terms, over £1m. ”... a freestone bridge over the Tay, of five arches, nearly 400ft. in length, the middle arch 60 feet wide, the starlings of oak and the piers and landbreasts founded on piles shod with iron….” (House of Commons Journal, 7th February 1734). The bridge was first opened to traffic at the end of October 1733. Wade regarded it the greatest of his considerable achievements in road-making. In 9 years he had personally supervised the construction of over 250 miles of military roads in the Highlands – the first engineered roads in Britain since Roman times. lt is now the only one of Wade’s 35 major bridges to remain in use as a public highway. Built for 18th century wheeled carriages, it survives to the 21st century as a great memorial to a great roadbuilding engineer. The River Tay, Scotland longest river, meanders across Scotland from Loch Tay before flowing out to sea at the Firth of Tay.

In the centre, the Weem Rock and in the distance, the snow covered Grampian Mountain range seen looking over the River Tay near the Village of Aberfeldy in the Breadalbane region of Highland Perthshire (Breadalbane means “Highland Scotland” in Gaelic). Shot taken on Saturday 20th December 08 in the middle of our winter. The Grampian Mountains or Grampians (Am Monadh in Gaelic) are one of the three major mountain ranges in Scotland, extending northeast to southwest and forming a natural barrier between the Highlands and the Lowlands. The Tay is Scotland longest river, meandering across Scotland from Loch Tay before flowing out to sea at the Firth of Tay. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix.

This shot was taken around 6am at the South Queensferry side of the Firth of Forth. It was such a beautiful morning….... Firth of Forth (Scottish Gaelic: Linne Foirthe) is the estuary or firth of Scotland’s River Forth, where it flows into the North Sea between Fife to the north, and West Lothian, the City of Edinburgh, and East Lothian to the south.

At the outer edge of Melbourne Australia, a lone tree looks out on a beautiful sunset :) Technical Notes: Used 3 exposures in Adobe camera raw, enhanced the already beautiful colour and contrast just slightly.

The shipping forecast had it spot on – “Malin/Hebrides, South Westerly Severe Gale force 9 increasing Storm force 10, occasionally Violent Storm force 11”. / A good day to leave the boat in the marina and go exploring by land! Easdale is a particularly exposed piece of coast on the west of Scotland, where the sea has an uninterrupted run from Nova Scotia. To give you an idea of scale, the rocks in the foreground are a metre in diameter, they aren’t pebbles. Coincidentally, this ‘beach’ is where my wife and I had our first open water scuba dives .. fortunately the sea was a little calmer then!

Been in an artistic mood lately & when I am in that frame of mind I like to experiment with some of my photographs. This is another experiment, inspired by Bluefinart. /

Taken at Rottrest Island – Western Australia. This pelican was airing his wings standing on a post like the one in the image. Was lucky enough to be in position after almost running 200m to reach the spot where his enormous span could be seen. On cue he took off and this is the result.

I’m hoping this angle is a little different from the norm. Please let me know if indeed I am wrong. The Forth Bridge is a cantilever railway bridge over the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland, to the east of the Forth Road Bridge, and 14 km (9 miles) west of central Edinburgh. It is often called the “Forth Rail Bridge” to distinguish it from the Forth Road Bridge. The bridge connects Scotland’s capital Edinburgh with the Kingdom of Fife, and acts as a major artery connecting the north-east and south-east of the country. The Forth Road Bridge is a suspension bridge in east central Scotland. The bridge, built in 1964, spans the Firth of Forth, connecting the capital city Edinburgh at South Queensferry to Fife at North Queensferry. The bridge replaced a centuries-old ferry service to carry vehicular traffic, cyclists, and pedestrians across the Forth; rail crossings are made by the adjacent and historic Forth Bridge.

Looking up Loch Tay from the Kenmore Bridge which crosses the River Tay, at Kenmore Village in the Breadalbane region of Highland Perthshire (Breadalbane means “Highland Scotland” in Gaelic). Taken on Saturday 20th December 08 in the middle of our winter. There is no snow at this latitude, but the Loch is high swamping the trees at the left of the shot. Loch Tay is the source of the River Tay which meanders across Scotland before flowing out to sea at the Firth of Tay. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix.

The is the same as the Newhaven Harbour shot but without the gallery border. This may be more suitable for framed prints.

This photo was taken on top of the concrete pillars which lead out to Cramond Island. IMAGE BEST VIEWED LARGE SCALE Cramond Island (Scottish Gaelic Eilean Chathair Amain) is one of several islands that lie in the Firth of Forth in eastern Scotland, near Edinburgh. As its name implies, it lies off Cramond. It is one third of a mile (0.5 km) long and covers an area of 19 acres and is currently part of the Dalmeny Estate. Strictly speaking it is not a true island at all, but a tidal island being connected to the mainland at low tide. There is a paved path, exposed at low tide, which allows easy access to visitors wishing to cross over. This path runs at the foot of a row of concrete pillars which may have been part of a track for transporting ammunition and supplies to the gun emplacements. At high tide the island is completely cut off from the mainland – the path is several feet below sea level at high tide. The island lies approximately one mile from the shore, and this should be taken into account when crossing, as the tides can quickly change, leaving visitors stranded. It may be seen as forming part of the estuary of the River Almond whose mouth is near the landward end of the crossing. Please also view Cramond Beach: Cramond Harbour:

Watching the sea pile in to Easdale’s normally sheltered harbour reminded me of the song oft sung by the Vital Spark’s crew: Oh! The Crinan Canal for me, / I don’t like the wild raging sea, / It would be too terrific to cross the Pacific, / Or sail to Japan or Fiji. / A life on the Spanish Main, / I think it would drive me insane, / The big foaming breakers would give me the shakers, / The Crinan Canal for me. For the curious, the harbour entrance is between the rocks in the foreground, and the little rock right of centre .. not the rocks with the breaking wave!

The Tay is Scotland longest river, meandering across Scotland from Loch Tay before flowing out to sea at the Firth of Tay. This is my last upload for this year. A Happy and joyous New Year to all.

This is the steep cliff mentioned below. Couldn’t quite get close enough to capture the Gannets diving into the water. The island is “a volcanic plug of phonolite”, dating to the Carboniferous period. The rock was first recognised as an igneous intrusion by James Hutton, while Hugh Miller, who visited in 1847, wrote about the Rock’s geology in his book Edinburgh and its Neighbourhood, Geological and Historical: with The Geology of the Bass Rock. The island, which has been privately owned by the Hamilton-Dalrymple family for 300 years, is a volcanic plug and stands over 100 m high in the Firth of Forth Islands Special Protection Area which covers some, but not all of the islands in the inner and outer Firth. The Bass Rock is a Site of Special Scientific Interest in its own right, due to its Gannet colony. It is sometimes called “the Ailsa Craig of the East”. It is of a similar geological form to nearby North Berwick Law, a hill on the mainland. There are a couple of related volcanic formations within nearby Edinburgh, namely Arthur’s Seat and Edinburgh Rock. Much of the island is surrounded by steep cliffs, and rocks, with a slope facing south south west, which inclines at a steep angle. The Bass does not occupy the skyline of the Firth, quite as much as its equivalent in the Clyde, Ailsa Craig, but it can be seen from much of southern and eastern Fife, most of East Lothian, and high points in the Lothians and Borders, such as Arthur’s Seat, and the Lammermuir.
