Arran and Kintyre
Scotland in Miniature Arran and Kintyre. From the mountains to the north of the island, and the lowlands to the south, the Isle of Arran has often been referred to as a Scotland in miniature. Located in the Firth of Clyde, Arran has it all and is easily accessed by ferry. After spending a week on the island I have to agree. Like Scotland itself, the Isle of Arran is a great place to visit for a photographer. The images in the gallery also look at the nearby neighbour of the Kintyre Peninsula, a long strip of land that also has the feel of living on an island, even though the A83 guides you through the magnificent Argyll and Bute landscape to reach Campbeltown.

Northumberland: Castles and Coast
Northumberland: Castles and Coast Over the years, the northern county of Northumberland has played a pivotal role in my life as a photographer. It remains my favourite English county due to its rugged landscape and fascinating history. The landscape, shoreline, castles and history of Northumberland come together to create the perfect canvas for photographers. Around the same time as my visit, the photojournalist John Tordai visited the county as part of the Photographer's Britain book series. Tordai had been brought up in Northumberland and the book was a fond look at the landscape, people and history of the ancient county. The fantastic documentary images remain a big influence on my work to this day. A small selection of images from earlier visits will be added to this gallery at a later date.

Southerly Point: The Mull of Galloway
Gulls, Gales and Grandeur The Mull of Galloway is Scotland's most southerly point with panoramic views across the Irish Sea to the coasts of England, Scotland, the Isle of Man, and Northern Ireland. The photography in the gallery covers the Mull of Galloway but also extends out over the nearby Rhins of Galloway to include locations such as Port Logan and Portpatrick. The visit to the Mull provided a great opportunity to see one of Scotland's most beautiful coastal areas but there were a few surprises I wasn't expecting. The Mull has a remote feel when you arrive. Stranraer is only 28 miles away and yet it feels like a Scottish island. Big Screen Film and TV productions have certainly tapped into this 'Hebridean feel for several productions including BBC TV's Two Thousand Acres of Sky and the 2018 film The Vanishing which used a variety of locations around the [...]
Scotland: Climbing Ben Nevis
There is no sport like mountaineering. It is the overcoming of difficulties, the mental climbing, as well as the physical, that give it such a zest. The troubles of life seem to fade away in the presence of the everlasting hills. We may go out tired and worn in mind and body; we return renewed and restored: health re-established and friendships strengthened. Jane Inglis Clark The high point of 2020... quite literally! Even a bad year can have its high points. In my case, it was the chance to climb Ben Nevis during a visit to the Highlands of Scotland in September 2020. My experience was rather nicely summed up in the Jane Inglis Clark quote seen above. There were a number of occasions that I came very close to turning around and heading back down the mountain. I'm so glad that I didn't. As the quote mentions, climbing a [...]
Islay: Lord of the Isles
Islay: Lord of the Isles | Documentary and Landscape Photography Islay is the southernmost island of the Inner Hebrides of Scotland with a rich history, diverse landscape and plenty of whisky distilleries. For over 400 years Islay was the centre for the Lordship of the Isles. At their height, the Lords of the Isles were the greatest landowners and most powerful lords in Britain after the Kings of England and Scotland. The journey to Islay involves a long, but beautiful drive through the Highlands, followed by a fabulous (depending on the weather you get) 1 hr 45 minutes ferry trip from the terminal at Kennacraig. The route is a busy one with many visitors heading to Islay intent on experiencing the nine distilleries (more are in development) that offer tours and tastings. I wanted to experience a bit of everything... including the distilleries. https://youtu.be/Qs__xyr12xw Lordship of the Isles Historically Islay [...]
Edinburgh: Seven Hills
Edinburgh: Seven Hills | Street and Landscape Photography The description above does come from a guidebook but beautifully sums up the appeal of visiting Edinburgh. It's one of my favourite cities in the UK. Fortunately, it's only around 1hr 40 mins train ride away from where I live. Close enough for a good day trip out. My first visit took place in 1992. That was a quick day visit with no real-time to explore but it was memorable for discovering the atmospheric. vibrant and welcoming old and new town. Little did I know that a return to Edinburgh didn't happen until 2015 when I travelled up to visit the Christmas market. The Edinburgh: Seven Hills photographs seen in the gallery date from 2015 onward. Edinburgh Quotes “Edinburgh isn’t so much a city, more a way of life… I doubt I’ll ever tire of exploring Edinburgh, on foot or in print.” [...]
