Highlands

I am always either on a Scotland trip or dreaming about my next one. My first trip to Scotland was in 2017, and I have visited at least once a year since then. The majority of the photos you see here are from the Western Isles, including Skye, Lewis and Harris, Mull, Arran and St. Kilda. I still have many more to explore. I'm not in any hurry to get through them all. I rather prefer to be thorough and explore just a small part of one island on any one trip. Because I know this is a lifelong love affair, so why rush?

A waterfall cascading over columnar basalt on the Ardmeanach peninsula Smooth ripples on Loch Bà reflect Beinn Bhuidhe as it basks in the evening light. Oaks in Autumn, with bright orange leaves, on the shore of Loch Drunkie. A birch tree covered in thick lichen and moss in Autumn, in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. A cairn graces the summit of Suaineabhal (or Suinaval) on the Isle of Lewis. A long exposure of the sea lapping at a boulder-strewn shore on the Ross of Mull, with a rainbow visible in the direction of mainland Scotland. The receding waves leave silver lines of froth leading back to the sea at Carsaig Bay, Mull. A double rainbow arches between Loch Brittle and Sgùrr nan Gobhar on the Isle of Skye. An orange-red sunset falls over Uig Bay on the Isle of Lewis and Harris A tranquil view of Uig Bay from Uig Beach on the Isle of Lewis. Some grassy mounds emerge from very wet and boggy ground in Gleann Easan Biorach on the Isle of Arran. An abstract photo. See in it what you will. A clump of ferns cluster around a large rock in a glacial valley, with Cir Mhor in the background, Barnacles create a streak of white on black schist on the North coast of Arran. 3 cows grazing, with the Cuillin peak of Blà Bheinn in the background.
