Schiehallion (12 Sep 2023)

I like to start walking by 8am, and that day there was mist lying in the valleys. Because of it’s position, Schiehallion can have great views across Rannoch…

Forth Bridge (08 Sep 2023)

I had always wanted to see the bridge with it’s feet hidden in mist, and I finally got my chance. This was taken from the coach heading south…

Creag Leachach (05 Sep 2023)

Another splendid day’s hillwalking from Glenshee saw me reach the summits of Creag Leachach and Glas Maol. Creag Leachach is a splendid little hill, and for all it…

This stunning, though bleak, view of the Pentland Firth was taken from adjacent to the cottage we were staying in, above Stromness. The two little islands are Inner…

Orkney (08 Jun 2023)

We visited Kirkwall and collected our cruffins which are croissant-style sourdough rolled & baked in a muffin case and then filled in crème patisserie. Scrumptious! Shutter speed: 1/2100s Aperture: ƒ/1.7…
