A dinghy sailors view of the famous Forth rail bridge in linking South Queensferry to Fife in Scotland Taken with a very clunky early digi camera…
An early morning view of the River Coupall on Rannoch Moor, Scotland. In the distance are Meall a’ Bhuiridh and Creise. This photograph was published in the October 2008 edition of “Outdoor Photography” Magazine.
Canon EOS 30D This simple scene was taken at small crook in the River Findhorn at Ardclach in the Highlands of Scotland. It is here the river sweeps around a small church and graveyard in a tiny lowland area. So low, in fact, they built the bell tower on top of a neighbouring hill so that the sound could escape over the adjacent wards. The river is nearly always fast-flowing and can be very spectacular at flood. The way the waters interact with the shores and the odd defiant boulder has always fascinated me. I could watch for hours as the torrents ebb and flow over the granite hurdles with that wonderful, soothing sound that flowing water makes. I decided that a series of Black & White images of different intimate river scenes would be perfect for a study. The different types of stone that you find beside or in the river can be stunning with each having their own charactistics are remarkable in themselves. Put them with a fast flowing river taken at a long-ish exposure, the textures and contrasts that can be produced are an excellent subject for a monochrome project. In this one, the granite boulder in the foreground has been smoothed and honed over, what must be, centuries of erosion and has produced wonderful textures and patterns within it.
Morning mist hangs in the valley over the beautiful river tweed outside peebles in the lovely scottish borders where sheep seem glad to greet the warmth of the dawn… See also misty bench view Taken at the same time too as morning glow and front row seat with an old NIkon coolpix compact 4800 slightly cropped f/3.1 / 1/55 sec / ISO-50 cheers for looking / ding / ;)))
The ancient packhorse Bridge over the dark peaty fast flowing River Dulnain is over 300 years old and is the oldest stone bridge in the Highlands of Scotland, it also gave it’s name to the village of Carrbridge where it is situated. An early morning image taken on a holiday to the Highlands that I was proud to call my home till I moved down to England after leaving school but a part of me will always remain in this beautiful area.
Seasons Greetings! / Wishing everyone a very merry time whatever you’re celebrating / :))) Late afternoon light on this frosty winter scene near Manor Brig over the River Tweed outside Peebles in the lovely Scottish Borders. Taken in a gorgeous winter wonderland, following 24 hours of freezing fog on my first ‘proper outing’ with a real dlsr.. but one of those ‘I must be mad’ moments.. crouched behind a crash barrier on a bend in the Glasgow road, sunday drivers whizzing past… (rb home page 19/11/09) / Nikon D60, VR Nikkor 18-200, UV filter / f/9,1/40 sec, ISO-100, 70mm !
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. This is Burnt Island, Fife Scotland. /
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 old dead tree can be found along the River Avon Heritage Trail, a very pleasant walk through nine miles of spectacular wild scenery between Avonbridge and Linlithgow in East Central Scotland.

The Avon Viaduct crosses the River Avon just outside Linlithgow Bridge, West Lothian Scotland. Linlithgow Bridge is dominated by this Viaduct which was constructed in 1840 to carry the main Edinburgh to Glasgow railway line across the valley of the River Avon to Linlithgow, which it still does today. The viaduct has 23 arches, a maximum height of 85 ft and is almost 900 feet long.

The beautiful Isle of Skye. / Typical Scottish Highland weather, bursts of sunlight, lasting for three minutes if you are lucky, between heavy showers that soak you to the skin, lasting around five hours. Or more. LOL ! / You don’t have to be mad to live here, but it helps, as the saying goes ! A magic place all the same ! / Have you ever tried to set up a tripod where the heather and bog myrtle grow in abundance, teetering on the brink of a raging burn? (Burn = river) It ain’t easy ! / It causes you endless grief, for one thing, the blasted tripod wobbles around, and it disturbs those dear wee midges, which bite you to the brink of insanity, then you have a wee puppy craving attention threatening to knock the tripod/camera/you into the burn, and I can’t swim either. / Combined with Family members watching your attempts and laughing then getting bored, it is a small wonder that any images get produced at all. Professional ?? Ha Ha Ha Ha !! / Hysterical laughter !

Glen Etive, Glencoe, Scotland.. it was raining, and when it was not raining it was misty/drizzly, and I spent more time wiping the lens than taking photos : ) Canon EOD 300D / circular polariser and 121s graduated filter.

The Russel Burn tumbles down from the mountains of Applecross, seen as you take the spectacular drive over the Bealach na Ba ( the Pass of the Cattle ) single track road. It is an old drover’s route, and rises to 2,053 feet, from where, on a clear day, you can see outstanding views of the Western Isles in all their glory. Mostly though, it will be so cold and windy that you will will not want to stay too long !! It is a very wild and remote area, so incredibly beautiful.
