Eilean Donan Castle one of the Iconic Scottish Castles was just a magic place to visit and photograph. I spent close to 9 hours taking in the surrounds, the atmosphere and the serenity and of course the odd photo or two. Here is one of my favourites, I really like the balance of light and the reflections. This was the 3rd last photo I took during this 9 hour period, and goes to show that patience can pay off. All money raised with the sale of my works until November goes towards the Steven T. Hill Stroke Foundation.

Inveraray castle on the shores of Loch fynne, Highlands of Scotland, bathed in dewey early morning light of midsummer greeness
Castle Kilchurn on the banks of Loch Awe, the site of many battles in Scottish history. The McGregors were the dominant clan in the Loch Awe area until being eclipsed by the Campbells who built Castle Kilchurn in 1450. / The Castle was held by the Campbells for 400 years and became a government stronghold in Jacobean times, but with the pacification of the Highland Clans and the dispersal of the McGregors, the Castle outlived its usefulness. / The Castle was abandoned completely at the end of the 18th Century and then had the misfortune to be burnt out after a “lightning strike” Most likely a stray McGregor…

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. Wade’s Bridge is a Category A listed structure of historic importance (HB Number 20861) under the care of Historic Scotland. The River Tay, Scotland longest river, meanders across Scotland from Loch Tay before flowing out to sea at the Firth of Tay.

This wee cottage sits on the shores of Loch Torridon, ( a sea-loch ) with views to die for. Someone described the paint-job on the roof as “rather unfortunate”, but I beg to differ – for me it is utterly enchanting. / ( Plus a wonderful photographic opportunity !) Shot on a Canon EOS 40D with polarising filter, f22, single RAW file processed in Photomatix, HDR, then finished off in CS3. FEATURED IN / http://www.redbubble.com/groups/going-coastal
Ben Loyal lies in the very Far North of Scotland, in an extremely remote and beautiful location. This is a truly wild place, and the only sounds I heard while photographing this scene was some Wild Geese on Loch Meadie, and a lonesome Golden Plover. In mid-Summer, the sunset and sunrise are not very far apart this far North, and this was shot around 3.30am !! PS, we were parked up in a VW campervan, otherwise I definitely would have rolled over and gone back to sleep ! A scan from Fuji Velvia film, shot on a Ricoh KR10 super, f11, mounted on a tripod.

Driving home one evening from Glasgow, after a a holiday in Corsica, this scene begged to be photographed ! A gorgeous Summers evening, when all things seem to be at peace with the world ! / However, encounter Glen Coe on a day when the weather is as wild as can be, and you will experience the very sombre mood and brooding atmosphere that is ‘The Glen of Weeping’. The name of the lochan is a spelling nightmare !!

An early Autumn evening image of The Pap of Glencoe (Scottish Gaelic: Sgurr na Cìche), a mountain on the northern side of Glencoe. It lies at the western end of the Aonach Eagach ridge, directly above the point where the River Coe enters Loch Leven. The Pap has a distinctive conical shape particularly when viewed from the west, and forms part of the “classic” view of the entrance to Glencoe.

“The splendour falls on castle walls / And snowy summits old in story: / The long light shakes across the lakes, / And the wild cataract leaps in glory: / Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying, / Blow, bugle, answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying. O hark, O hear how thin and clear, / And thinner, clearer, farther going! / O sweet and far from cliff and scar / The horns of Elfland faintly blowing! / Blow, let us hear the purple glens replying: / Blow, bugle, answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying. O love, they die in yon rich sky, / They faint on hill or field or river: / Our echoes roll from soul to soul / And grow for ever and for ever. / Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying, / And answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying.” Lord Alfred Tennyson Canon 400D , Sigma 10-20mm + ND grad filters.F16 iso 100

A beautiful morning at Lake of Menteith, Trussochs, Scotland.
A scene I have often passed by, but either the light was wrong, or I didn’t have the time. / On this occasion, things fell into place, except for the fact that I had left my tripod at home !! DOH !! (on a shopping trip for provisions to Fort William !) / It is a hand-held three shot hdr, because of the extreme lighting. / Loch Lochy is reputed to have a “monster” like Loch Ness !

The iconic Liathach rises above Loch Clair, on a beautiful Winter’s day. / Not a perfect reflection, but still a wonderful scene.
