Scotland Photography of
North West Highlands
Scotland has a number of the World's most scenic areas within it's shores.
The North West Highlands itself offering the delights of Kintail, Torridon,
Coigach, Assynt, and Sutherland.The Ardnamurchan and Knoydart peninsulas are
amazing to photograph and
combined with the Fisherfield Forest provide areas with that real wilderness
experience. The Outer Hebrides, St Kilda, Orkney, Shetland, Skye, Rum, Eigg,
Mull, and Arran combine bird life in Scotland and local fishing industry with dramatic
coastal scenery. Photography presented on this site is a unique collection of
many years of exploring beautiful Scotland.
Scotland Photography of Eastern Highlands
The Eastern Highlands are dominated by the Cairngorms,
Grampians and Lochnagar with Aberdeenshire accommodating a magnificent
collection of historic Castles and Tower Houses. The East coast and the Moray
Firth ,although basically flat inland , has dramatic coastal scenery enlivened
by the gannetry at Troup Head and porpoise sightings. Caithness and Sutherland
too have dramatic coasts with free- standing Stacs at Duncansby Head ,Stoer
Point,and Sandwood Bay.
Scotland Photography of Beaches
The beaches
in the far north and west coasts are
unspoilt and as fine as any in the world. Below the Great Glen ,Ben Nevis ,the Mamores and Grey Corries dominate, with the Glen Coe mountains being the most
evocative and mysterious. The combination of mountain, glen and sea lochs make
the west of Scotland a very special landscape. The Cuillin ridge on the Isle of
Skye provides the highest mountaineering challenge in Britain with only the
Arran ridges matching it's wonderful proximity to the ocean. The weather
systems, endemic to our islands location, provide the basis for the great
variety of colours in our landscape, ever changing , even from hour to hour. To
capture the various moods of our climate is part of the challenge for every
landscape photographer.
