The oldest stone bridge in the Highlands of Scotland which was the first bridge allowing the river Dulnain to be crossed with dry feet was built in what is now Carrbridge, Inverness-shire, Scotland, between May and November 1717 by a mason called John Niccelsone. He did so at the behest of Brigadier-General Alexander Grant of Grant at a cost of £100. The main aim of the bridge was to ensure that funeral processions from the south did not have to be delayed reaching Duthil Church when the river was in spate and unfordable. The bridge was damaged by a great flood in 1829, leaving the present fragile looking archway. BEST VIEWED LARGER Related shots can be found at: Bridges and Highland Scotland /

Craobh Marina, Craobh Haven, south of Oban on the west coast of Scotland.
A beautiful fishing village on a spur of a land projecting into Loch Broom, making a perfect harbour, Ullapool attracts more tourists than fishing boats these days.
Believe it or not, taken from a moving bus. Near Lochawe, Loch Awe, Argyll.
We had a fantastic hike today – lower level ( 1800ft) as the trails were snow covered ice. This is Loch Ordie , with ice forming on the edges, looking South – a stunning day. We hiked in what is called rough terrain as we climbed up snow covered heather hills to the tops and down pretty steep cliffs then wound our way round to this loch.
The spectacular view from the Falls of Dochart Inn at the end of Killin bridge on the outskirts of Killin Village. This shot was taken on Saturday 20th December 08. The picturesque village of Killin nestles amidst spectacular Highland scenery, in the Stirling district of Scotland at the heart of the Scottish Highlands.

This interesting life-size metal piper can be found at Kenmore Village in the Breadalbane region of Highland Perthshire (Breadalbane means “Highland Scotland” in Gaelic). Non Scots always seem interested in what is worn under the kilt, but as any true Scotsman will tell you, nothing is worn under the kilt, it is all in perfect working order!!

In July 1724 General George Wade (1673-1748) was sent to Scotland on a military mission for George I. In the continuing uncertainty after the 1689 and 1715 Jacobite Risings, he was to ‘inspect the present situation of the Highlanders’ and to ‘make strict inquiry into the last law for disarming the Highlanders’. He identified that the Highlands were ready to rise up and was appointed commander in Chief of the North of Scotland. He build roads so that he could move his troops quickly and put down rebellions. One of these roads runs along the south side of Loch Ness. This was Fraser country and they fought on both sides in the Battle of Culloden that was to take place in a few years after Wades work was complete. They fought on both sides so that they were on the winning side and would keep their land and title. Unfortunately Lord Lovat who chose the losing side was beheaded in the Tower of London and a memorial to him can be found in Boleskine Gravyard on the South side of Loch ness. The south side of Loch Ness is not the main road to Inverness from Fort William but it is the most beautiful. Even quicker because there is less traffic and more opportunities to overtake. You also get a better view of loch ness from this road.

This is a shot of the Glen Etive Road in Glencoe. Nikon D60 = f/10, 1/400sec, ISO-100, FL-18mm / THIS IMAGE IS BEST VIEWED LARGE The Glen Etive road meanders for some 14 miles to the head of Loch Etive, where it ends in a turning circle near a ruined pier. And that’s it. The road down Glen Etive is the original “road to nowhere”. It’s not always been that way. In 1750 there was a track running down the south side of the loch as far as Taynuilt. And from 1847 a steamer service from Oban operated to the now derelict pier at which the modern road ends.

If you were to continue along the same route as karl Williams ’ Buachaille’ image posted earlier you would eventually come to this spot in Glencoe. This was taken in Winter and in the distant left are part of the mountains known as the ’ three sisters’ of Glencoe, so called because you can see three peaks one after the other. This image was shot at a popular layby where The River Coe runs through the glen tumbling down to Loch Leven, though in this instance it was rather frozen over. Wonderful, photogenic location. Canon EOS 400D. AP Mode. Polariser. 18-80mm. Single image exp. CS3 to Complete.
This image was shot at the crack of dawn on Loch Ba, Rannoch Moor and was the result of an early start from my home in Glasgow. / This time in the morning, around 5-30am is a magical time and if you get a crisp clear morning such as this the rewards can be more than worth that early start. Canon EOS 400D. 18-80mm polariser Filter. AP mode. CS3 to Complete.
I shot this image locally earlier this morning on yet another fine start to the day. I now have my new Nikon D5000 which I am inching to try out, ( probably rain for a week now…lol), but I will have to buy some bits and pieces for it, not least a cable release and polariser filter because the filter thread is only 52mm compared to my canons 58mm. Could buy a step up ring I suppose…... Canon EOS 400D. AP Mode. Polariser filter. HDR 3 Exp Image. / Photomatix and CS3 to complete.
