Branklyn Gardens (04 Jun 2016)
These gardens are a gem, tucked away off the Dundee Road on the eastern edge of Perth. It’s not too far to walk from the centre (in my view!), and the footbridge alongside the railway…
Drummond Castle (22 May 2016)
The gardens are wonderful, and have been described by Historic Environment Scotland as “the best example of formal terraced gardens in Scotland.” Their website has lots of information and images, including some drone footage. They…
Flying Scotsman (15 May 2016)
After her return to steam, Flying Scotsman paid a visit to Scotland. Along with many others I got out my long lens and stood on top of the multi-story car park at the Ferrytoll Park…
Cowslips (17 Apr 2016)
My garden was awash with spring flowers. I planted some cowslips a while back and they are happily self-seeding, the daffodils come up every year and the snakes-head fritillaries seem happy enough as well. Shutter…

Muckhart Mill (04 Mar 2016)
I was trying to get to Cauldron Linn on the River Devon and couldn’t work out how, so continued along the track to Muckhart Mill which is recorded as long ago as 1560. There are…
Cambo Beach (28 Feb 2016)
Cambo is a favourite when snowdrops are out. I park at Kingsbarns which has a big car park and is on the Fife Coastal Path. It’s a lovely walk along the beach to the woodland.…
Bullrushes, Birnie Loch (27 Feb 2016)
I love the fluffy seed heads on bulrushes, and here I also love the contrast between the sharp stalks, and the water behind. Shutter speed: 1/320s Aperture: ƒ/5.6 ISO: 200 Focal length: 190mm Taken: 27 February, 2016 15:02 Camera: PENTAX K-5…
Explorer’s Garden
The Explorer’s Garden in Pitlochry is another gem. It looks at the lives of some of Scotland’s most noted plant hunters, and their contributions to the way our gardens look today. It has a large…
