Eilean Donan Arches

The Eilean Donan Castle is one of the most recognizable sights in Scotland, particularly the arches that lead to the shore, and this view is a great way to see them. This was a rainy day in the Scottish Highlands in 2011.

Isle of Skye

A view of the Isle of Skye, taken from just south of the Kyle of Lochalsh, Scotland, 2011. Skye has some very distinctive looking mountains at this side of the island.

Falls of Dochart

There were lots of good opportunities to get long exposure shots at this idyllic setting at the Falls of Dochart, in the picturesque town of Killen in the Scottish Highlands, 2013. In the end, I went for only a very brief hold of the shutter, as some of the turbulent water really did add to the image.

Kilchurn Castle

Kilchurn Castle; a very difficult landmark to get a shot of without getting your feet wet in the boggy marsh between the lake and the nearest road. Argyll & Bute mountain landscape, Scotland. 2015.

Glenmore Reindeer

A privilege to get to see these highland reindeer up and close and personal on a reservation in the Scottish mountains near Aviemore, Scotland, 2016

Scottish Reindeer

We go to see these reindeer at very close quarters, even getting the chance to feed them. I would guess that they are very used to human contact on this mountain reservation at Glenmore, near Aviemore, 2016.

Reindeer Landscape

This is another view of a Scottish Highland mountain landscape, complete with a couple of reindeer for good measure. This on a refuge at Glenmore, near Aviemore, 2016.

Glenmore Panorama

This is a panoramic view of the reindeer refuge at Glenmore, near Aviemore in the Scottish Highlands, 2016. It was in the middle of summer, but actually quite cold up here.

Loch Ness

This is a view of Loch Ness, near Drumnadrochit, 2016. This is a huge body of water, and with such very large fetch lengths, it's no wonder that it can get so choppy. Scotland, 2016.

Loch Ness at Drumnadrochit

I wish there had been more vantage points for a view of the infamous Loch Ness, and also better weather. This was as good as it got, but it did show just how expansive this body of water is. This is just south of Drumnadrochit, Scottish highlands panorama, 2016.

Glen Shiel Mist

This is a very picturesque part of Scotland, with some dramatic views on the drive between Loch Ness and the west coast. This particularly view was on a rainy afternoon in the Scottish Highlands, specifically at Glen Shiel, 2016.

Eilean Donan Castle Rain

A more sodden view of the Eilean Donan Castle, an a gloomy day on the west coast of Scotland, 2016

Eilean Donan Castle

The famous Eilean Donan Castle on Scotland's west coast. The arches seen here are photographed from a slightly different angle than most tourists shot from. 2016

Eilean Donan Castle Sunshine

The sun broke out, only briefly, but for long enough for me to get this shot of the world famous Eilean Donan Castle, a treasured landmark on Scotland's west coast. 2016

The Skye Bridge

Looking out from the Kyle of Lochalsh towards the famous Scottish Isle of Skye. The bridge, once a toll, has been in place since about 1994, replacing a long serving ferry. 2016.

Scottish Highlands

This is a view of the mountains just north of Tyndrum in the Scottish Highlands, on the drive up to take photographs of Glencoe. Not many truly great vantage points to get great shots of this landscape, but it was interesting enough to stop and take it all in. 2017.

Loch Tulla

This is Loch Tulla, which some very frozen looking shores. Loch Tulla is about half way between Tyndrum and Glencoe, in the Scottish Highlands. Actually broke my tripod taking this shot. 2017.

Achallader

Which there had been just a little more snow; but this was a fantastic (short ) walk in the Scottish Highlands towards a remote little cottage in the shadow of the mountains at Achallader. 2017.

Rannoch Moor

Some very icy conditions on a loch in the Scottish Highlands, this one at the edge of Rannoch Moor. I actually stopped at this location on the way north and south during our visit to Glencoe, such was the beauty of the place under a range of lighting conditions. 2017.

Rannoch Moor

The name of this loch was a little complicated, in Gaelic I think, so I felt safe just to describe this as a part of Rannoch Moor, just south of Glencoe. The late evening light was so tempting that I actually turned the car around to get this shot. Scotland, 2017.

Achallader

I simply could not pass this shot up; the winding road, the subtly pink skies and the snowbound mountains made for a fantastic photographic composition. Perhaps I wish that it had been a little darker to capture the traffic head light tails, but I had a car full of passengers that really wanted to get home! 2017.

Loch Eil and loch Linnhe

Fort William and Loch Eil, from Aonach Mor in the Scottish Nevis Range, 2019.
