Scottish Landscapes


Scotland has got to be one of my favourite countries which I have been lucky enough to both live in and visit on a number of occasions. The landscapes are breathtaking, and with the amount of gorgeous castles dotted around the Highlands and the sound of the bagpipes playing as you walk around cities such as Edinburgh, the country oozes tradition and history. A few months ago I was having a bit of a Scotland withdrawel and luckily won a competition to go up to the Highlands for a few days and escape the madness of London! Although the temperatures were freezing (it was December!) the blue skies and sun reflecting off the mirrored lochs really set the scene. I had also just invested in a wide angle lens so was itching to try it out and what better scenery to do just that! Below are a collection of the photos I took whilst travelling around the Highlands. One of my favourite spots was an Island in the north of Scotland called the 'Isle of Skye' where it is so tranquil its like stepping back in time!

I work with Kim and she sent me a link to your blog... You've got some really stunning shots!
These ones of Scotland are truly divine... that's one of the places I'm absolutely dying to go to!
Some of these look HDR.... are they?
Anyway - thanks for creating such beautiful images, they are a true delight to look at!

Hi Meg, thanks so much for the lovely compliments! If you can ever get to Scotland it is an amazing country really stunning! Yes the two pics of the boats and the one in Edinburgh were HDR images, just experimenting a bit!

Thanks again Meg!
