My brother in law Neil has been travelling the world and as a result, decided that he needed to see more of Scotland upon his return. We thought Skye would be a good place to start and headed there for 2 nights camping near Dunvegan. I simply love Skye. This was the third time I’d been in [...] So, 3.20 am on nearly the shortest day of the year, I decided that would be the perfect time to get up and go for some sunrise shots. I’d had one in mind for a while and wanted to capture it while the Oil Seed Rape was in full bloom, it would make a perfect summer [...] Yesterday was the first Saturday since the Council passed their motion to support City Square Project and the possible destruction of the beautiful Union Terrace Gardens, in the heart of Aberdeen. It also happened to be the hottest day of the year so far, as a result it was rammed. I was there from 3 till [...] It’s been a long hard winter in the north-east of Scotland.

We stopped on the Lecht – Ballater road and stumbled into a bunch of Red Grouse on the pull. It was my first time up there in winter, well worth it if you want to see snow deeper [...] Up Helly Aa It’s been in our heads to visit Shetland for Up Helly Aa for a wee while and this year we managed to do it. Up Helly Aa is a fire festival which celebrates Shetland’s Viking heritage while also being a very good excuse for a lot of alcohol to be consumed and for [...] Crathes Castle on a cold Autumn day Autumn trees at Crathes Crathes Castle Crathes Pond Crathes Autumn tree Yesterday I took the bus to Crathes Castle and had a lovely day traipsing round the woods searching for Red Squirrel. I had a plan too. I knew they regularly appeared at the feeder behind the shops, so [...] Todhead Lighthouse viewed from Catterline harbour Grey Seal Grey Seal pup trying to get out of rough water Grey Seals basking at Catterline Todhead Lighthouse viewed from Catterline harbour So, we’d been meaning to get to Catterline for a few weeks as it was nearing the tail end of the Seal pupping season and I wanted [...] Here’s a wee video my Wife Heather captured of the Sea Eagle in Portree. Heather helpfully included my head, for scale, near the end of the video(i do have an unfeasibly large head, it’s tricky to keep it out of shots). It’s captured in HD quality so if you’ve got a decent connection you [...] |
