Love this time of year for the Autumn colours. The River Garry at Killiecrankie and my wife walking on ( in ) the water. #Scotland #Photography #Autumn #Killiecrankie #Perthshire #River #Red #RiverGarry
The trees alongside the river are golden and red with Autumn leaves. A women is standing in the shallow water and the reflections of trees colour the water.

Same location as the photo I posted yesterday but with this funky tree. The mountain is stac pollaidh. North West Scotland. Inverpolly. It’s an incredible landscape. #Scotland #North #Highlands #Photography #Autumn #Inverpolly #Mountain #StacPollaidh #Assynt
The mountain in the distance juts up into a rugged point. Autumn reds and golds in the land and in the foreground a twisted tree spiral from bottom to top.

Out and about again in the Scottish Highlands. Love the North West. Especially Inverpolly. #Scotland #North #Highlands #Photography #Autumn #Inverpolly #Mountain #StacPollaidh #Assynt
The ground is autumn red covered bracken with a blue river running through towards the peak of a mountain call Stac Pollaigh (pronounced polly)

It’s been a while. Getting hospital treatment from our great NHS. All going well. Walking our dogs is keeping me fit and going through the seasons on the local farm.

Hot sunny weekend coming. Have fun. Our dogs enjoying a day at the beach on the Isle of Harris. #Scotland #Photography #IsleofHarris #Luskentyre #beach #Bluesky #dogs #Hebrides #coast
Two dogs running into the beach from and incoming wave in an idyllic beach surrounded by turquoise sea and distant hills form the shoreline. The sky is blue and it’s a hot summer day.

Summer drive around the North west coast of Scotland. Approaching Gruinard bay from the imaginatively named village of First Coast. #Scotland #Photography #GruinardBay #NC500 #coast
Long along a coast line that turns into a bay with a beach visible on the far shore. There is a stone beach in front and the road ahead on the right going over a small hill. There are mountains in the distance and a blue but cloudy sky above.

Start the week and set sail on your objective this week. Spotted this stunning sailing ship from the shore of the Mull of Kintyre. Ailsa Craig in the distance. #Scotland #Sailing #Photography #AilsaCraig #MullofKintyre #FirthofClyde
A three masted ship is sailing across the firth of Clyde and a dome shaped small island is on the horizon called the Ailsa Craig that sits in the Firth of Clyde.

Weather forecast today not as good as this one. Greets you outside the local store on Berneray. #Scotland #Weather #Berneray #Hebrides #Islands
A sign called the forecasting stone states the obvious. Eg Stone is wet = raining and so on. Under the sign is said stone hanging on a rope.

Ah summer days in the Scottish islands. Hope you have a lovely June. #Scotland #Photography #Summer #IsleofHarris #Luskentyre #Hebrides #Beach #coast #islands
From the shore by an area of beach a lone women stands on a rocky part of the beach by the water. The sea is turquoise and another island is in the distance.

Start the week by isolating one or two things that must be focused on. Like The Duncansby Stacks sea stacks located at the northeastern tip of Scotland, near John O'Groats. #Scotland #Photography #DuncansbyStacks #JohnOGroats
Two rock stacks sit in the sea separated from the cliffs on the coast. The sea is calm and the sky is blue.

Relaxing on a Sunday afternoon. A closer up of the shot earlier this week. This is Loch Shiel at Acharacle in the Ardnamurchan peninsula. #Scotland #Photography #Acharacle #Ardnamurchan #Calm #LochShiel #calm #Lochs
A blue small boat is tied to the shore of a very calm loch. Grass is in front and growing in the shallows. There are some wooden poles coming from the right and a seabird is sitting on one. There are hills on the far side shore and the sky is blue.

Happy Saturday. If rain is expected today remember the visit a waterfall option. This is Rumbling Bridge on the River Braan near Dunkeld. Great walk to the Hermitage from here. #Scotland #Photography #Waterfall #RumblingBridge #Dunkeld #Rain #RiverBraan #Hermitage
A series of waterfalls overlap as a river flows through a gorge of rocks under a dark rain cloud.

Lots of rain expected this weekend. Pennies from heaven for some and pounds for making mountain burns spectacular. This one in Glencoe. #Scotland #Photography #Glencoe #Water #River #Stream #Hills #Mountain
A mountain burn / river is gushing towards the camera through rocks on either side of it. Its white foaming water contrasts with the reds,greens and browns in the grass and the dark mountain sides on either side. The sky above has lots of thick white clouds.

Looking for peace and calm in the middle of the week. You have probably seen one end of Loch Shiel where the Glenfinnan monument and viaduct are. This is the peace and balance at the other end at Acharacle. #Scotland #Photography #LochShiel #Acharacle #Ardnamurchan #Calm #Lochs #boat
A white row boat sits on very calm water and a blue one slightly behind it is next to some posts in the water. Green grass runs alongside and in the middle distance there is a hill with a conical top and mountains in the far distance. The sky is blue above.

Start the week looking for somewhere to go for a summer break. These little shielings are dotted throughout the Bravas moor on the Isle of Lewis. So for some Hebrideans - sorted. #Scotland #Photography #IsleofLewis #BarvasMoor #Hebrides #Shieling
A shieling is a little hut or cottage in the moors used in the summertime by the women and children who took the animals out. The picture shows on on the brow of a small grassy hill the other side of a small lochan. It’s has a red roof and the sky above is blue.

Happy 1st day of Summer. A bit cloudy but take some fresh water and head for the hills. This is on route to Blavin on the Isle of Skye #Scotland #photography #IsleofSkye #Hills #River #Hebrides
A small mountain river is in the centre of the picture leading up to the peak of a hill at the top of the frame. The water has cut through the rocks creating a small gorge and the water is clear showing the colours of the stones on rivet bed.

Rain today so if you’re retreating indoors Glengorm on the northern edge of the Isle of Mull near Tobermory is a spectacular location. #Scotland #Photography #IsleofMull #Glengorm #Tobermory #Castle #CointryHouse #Hebrides
A castle shaped 19th century country house with a central turret and conical corner turrets sits on the coast with the see and a distant island behind it. The sky is overcast and the grasses in front are still in their winter reddish colou

Another lovely close up of the machair flowers. Imagine you are on a Scottish Hebridean island on a beautiful sunny afternoon and you can take a picnic and nap looking out to sea from the floral covered grass by the coast. #Scotland #Photography #Flowers #Machair #Hebrides #Islands #Coast
This picture is from the ground level looking through the flowers in the grass out to sea and the blue sky above.

Just love springtime when you can walk along flower covered machair. Here on the isle of Berneray. #Scotland #Photography #Berneray #Islands #Hebrides #Springtime #Machair #Flowers #Hills #NorthUist
The grass for two thirds of the picture is covered in white clover and buttercups. There is a small cottage in the middle distance and hills beyond that. The sky above is blue.

Back to that Monday feeling and the rain. However, rainbows and sunlight still brighten the horizon. This is looking across to the Isle of Barra airport where planes land on the beach when the tide is out. #Scotland #Photography #IsleofBarra #Hebrides #Rainbow #Beach
A rainbow crossing a dark rain cloud landing on a bright strip of land on the horizon which is lots by the sun. The foreground is a sandy bay with the tide out and a red roof cottage to the left on the road that runs along side the bay.

Have a great weekend. Some deep colours at Sanna bay at the far western tip of the Scottish peninsula of Ardnamurchan. Worth the drive. #Scotland #Photography #SannaBay #Ardnamurchan #beach #coast
A very turquoise blue green sea covers some rocks and laps against a golden sandy beach. Some rocky land behind is grass covered.

Friday and still sunny outside. here is another lovely and remote beach on the Isle of Harris at Huisinis. Have a lovely weekend. #Scotland #Photography #IsleofHarris #Huisinis #Hebrides #Islands #Beach #coast
Turquoise sea takes up the lower half of the picture as its rolls in left to right onto a golden sandy beach. At the end of the beach in the middle of the picture is a few small houses and a grassy headland and above a clear blue sky.

Another sunny day on one of the top ten beaches in the world at Luskentyre and Seilebost on the Isle of Harris. Always feel happy here. #Scotland #Photography #IsleofHarris #Luskentyre #Seilebost #Beach #Hebrides #Islands
Sand fills the whole bottom half almost of the image with a tuft of sea grass breaking up the sand in the left. The middle ground is turquoise sea rolling into to the headlands of Luskentyre and the north Harris hills is the distance. The sky is blue with wisps of white cloud.

Midweek and the tide keeps rolling in. Here at the stunning Niabost beach on The Isle of Harris. #Scotland #Photography #IsleofHarris #Niabost #Hebrides #Beach #Waves #Islands #Hills
A line of white wash from the waves rolling into a beach on the right make its way up the centre of the image to the headland and beyond that are distant hills rising. The sky above is blue with some white clouds.

Work this out. Is this Scotland, UK, Europe? It’s Armadale on the Isle of Skye looking across to the mainland. Who can fish here? And if you catch one where can you sell it? Plus capitalism v conservation. It’s complicated #Scotland #Photography #IsleofSkye #Economics #Fishing #Armadale
There is a small fishing boat at anchor I. The natural harbour of inlet waterways between the islands and the mainland. There are hills the other side and a cloudy overcast sky.
