Famous old Clyde " puffer " The Vital Spark " berthed at Inverary harbour on Loch Fyne, Northwest Scotland.

Looking across an icy Loch Droma towards Sgurr Mor the highest of the Munros in the Fannaichs range in Wester Ross, Northwest Scotland

A remarkably complete Neolithic burial cairn, of a type characteristic of Galloway. This is a long exposure using filters to accentuate the movement of the clouds behind.

Within the confines of the Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park. Probably my favourite image from a night spent watching and photographing the nighr sky, two additional light sources used here, one a flashlight illuminating the top of the dam and the other an off camera flash which caught a few swirls of mist that were around , giving a more ethereal look to the image I thought.

Peaceful waters of a pool in a lonely Highland Scotland glen reflect the image of two lonesome trees clinging to the banks surrounded by the rich colours of Autumn.

Inquisitive looking young deer with a canvas texture applied to the background.

Liked the look of this grey/white horse in a misty meadow and added an " oil paint " filter to it.

Iconic mountain in Assynt, North West Sutherland. Taken just as the sun had set and the mist was beginning to form across the loch.

Ardvreck Castle in Sutherland, North West Scotland. Had just appeared out of the mist that still shrouds the surrounding mountains. A nice reflection in the clear waters of Loch Assynt also.

Freshly rolled bales of hay drying in the sun, with the Cromarty Firth, North East Scotland away in the distance

Most probably Scotland's most photographed castle, therefore I have applied some digital effects to give a painterly look.

The massif of Ben Nevis rises above Corpach on Loch Linnhe, Lochaber, Highland Scotland. Taken on one of the rare days that you can see the top.

A beautiful spring day showing the beach and Loch Broom with the Summer Isles in the far distance at Ardmair Point near Ullapool Wester Ross, Northwest Scotland

Clachtoll Bay and Split Rock on the Northwest coast of Sutherland, so nice to have blue skies to accompany the turquoise sea. The image has been processed in a manner to give it a " painterly " look.
