Today’s photo is of a rather magical snowy hike around the woodland and hills near Kingussie. We had SO much snow that day! I was wearing my winter mountaineering boots and full waterproofs. The snow Read more…

It’s been quite a long time since I visited Syke. It’s always so beautiful in summer, with the heather and lush green landscape. However summer also brings two things I’m not so fond of: midges, Read more…

I just learned that today is National Wildlife Day! Which means today’s photo had to be of something adorable from the Scottish Highlands. I encountered a few of these beautiful tiny rabbits at the edge Read more…

Dunnottar Castle on a chilly December day.   Since it’s Open Studios this week, I can’t go out taking new photos, which means I’m digging through the murky depths of my Lightroom catalog for old Read more…

Happy Sunday! Today’s image is one I shot a few years ago, up near the Moray Coast. I recently went back to this spot to see what the scene was like and the little cabin Read more…

Hi everyone! Today was the first day of Perthshire Open Studios 2018 and I’m just about to close up for the day. Huge thanks to those who visited today. Everyone was so lovely and I Read more…

Todays photo is of the stunning Glamis Castle – a place which needs little introduction! My favourite thing about this image is the snow on the hills behind. I can’t wait for winter to return Read more…

Somewhere in the woods beneath the tower of Kinnoull Hill is a cave known as The Dragon Hole. Local legend tells of it being home to, obviously, a dragon, but that it also used to Read more…

Today’s photograph is of a magnificent wild stag in the Scottish Highlands during a chilly winter morning last December. Photographed with the Sony A7ii and the 100-400mm lens (at 114mm, f7.1, 1/100sec).  

This photo has been my wallpaper on my phone since I first edited it. I can’t remember if I ever shared it at the time, but it never made it onto my portfolio due to Read more…

This photo of a lovely little blackbird was taken a couple of months ago in parkland near Loch Ness. I was visiting the area as a friend had commissioned me to create 3 photographs to Read more…

A friend once told me that when robins stare at you, they’re not watching you out of interest, more sizing you up to see if they could beat you in a territorial fight. That’s pretty Read more…

Did you know there are estimated to be only 300 wildcats left in the wild in Scotland? Thankfully, conservation groups and animal welfare charities are helping this beautiful endangered species. Earlier this year, some adorable Read more…

I love photographing animals. I generally photograph a mix of wildlife, pets/farm animals and those at refuges and wildlife centres. This lovely little fox is at the Scottish Deer Centre in Fife. I have a Read more…

Loch Con is a small body of water that lies in the hills to the west of Blair Atholl in Perthshire. Legend has it that at some point in history, a freebooter (criminal, robber type) Read more…

When looking through my photo library to see which photos I should edit to share with you today, this one caught my eye. I think it’s because I’m very much looking forward to autumn and Read more…

Please excuse the terrible title, but hey, I’ve got to use that at least once! Another simple shot of a beautiful swan swimming in a small loch near Dunkeld. The water of the loch was Read more…

I think this is my favourite of the 8 shots I’ve processed from my hike around Dunkeld. Part way through my hike the path led me through a large field of sheep which was very Read more…

I thought a good name for this little sheep is Dotty. Its legs are so spotty and cute. It almost looks like it’s wearing knee-pads on the front. Sharing this image purely because I liked Read more…
