A family walk around The Hertmitage, Perthshire, Scotland back in 2009.

This page is a listing of my Landscape photography as published on this site. They are views, feelings, atmospheres that felt worthy of a landscape photograph. They are not necessarily the best shots, but nice to cast an eye over or dwell upon.
Dollar Glen delights
Dollar Glen I’m not apologising for more shots of this great glen. Dollar Glen in Clackmannanshire. Topped-off with Castle Campbell.
Autumn in Dollar Glen
Dollar Glen is a beautiful gorge set into the eastern flank of the Ochils. At the head sits Castle Campbell. A 15th century tower built for the Campbells of Argyll (who fought their neighbours, the Clan Lamont in 1645-46).
The glen is at its best in Autumn with a range of trees producing a fantastic display of colour. Couple that with spectacular views from the Castle, it makes for a rewarding family walk.
The Castle photographed from deep in the glen. Great views from Castle Campbell. Clackmannan in the Cold
This was a typically unpredictable morning. With a high pressure system in charge giving cold, frost and fog which had descended over Clackmannan meaning views were very peek-a-boo minute to minute. These photographs were taken from Kings Seat Hill upon which the parish of Clackmannan nestles.
It offers great views into Fife in the East, Ochils and Perthshire in the north, Stirling east and Falkirk to the south. The Bruce family settled and built one of the County of Clackmannanshire’s five towers to project their power.

More autumn in Glen Feshie
I have taken many trips around Cairngorm and one of my favourite locations is Glen Feshie, south of the mountains. It is a beautiful flat-bottomed glen surrounded on all sides by heather hills (thanks to the deer) and a gentle boulder strewn meandering river. Gentle until winter snow and spring melt bring dangerous torrents of flood water. What makes this spot special are the collection of Scots Pines. They grow as individuals, often at gravity denying angles, in clusters of two or three as well as clumps. There is colour, curves, shape and texture which creates a rewarding photographic experience. Hope you enjoy this collection from 2007.
This is where most of these photographs were taken.
