Loch Lomond View
A number of weeks ago I was down in Glasgow for a (motor) bike meet and as it seemed reasonably dry I decided to take a longer way home than usual, heading up round towards Balloch and then travelling back home along the Stirling-Erskine Bridge Road. As I rode it got...
The River Forth and the Otter
Most people when speaking of the River Forth are referring to the Forth estuary or Firth of Forth, famous for its three bridges and being the inlet from the North Sea where Edinburgh and its port, Leith stand. However the River Forth extends into the Trossachs and is...
Ben Gullipen Sunset
My day job is in Telecoms and has been for near as makes no difference, 40+ years now. For a 5 year period I worked all over Scotland, especially in more rural or remote areas, installing and commissioning Microwave Radio links. Cellular telephony was still a fairly...
Auchenlillian Spout
While this is very much dense woodland there was a narrow channel through the trees and I was pretty sure I could with a little care and by switching off collision avoidance (necessary as the walls were tighter than CA would permit), fly the drone down the gorge and get a shot looking up the falls. That would have to be a first worth trying.
The Forth Bridge
I have lived in the viscinity of the Forth Bridges my entire life yet oddly maybe to some, never have I taken a photograph of any of them, the original Forth (Rail) Bridge, Forth Road Bridge, or the Queensferry Crossing.
Touch Hills Number 2
I took a wander up the hills in early spring, there was still snow on the ground after our rather severe late winter and noticed that the Touch Hills Number 2 reservoir was full.
Arran Sunrise
The photo featured here was one of a number I took early one morning in September 2017. I was due to catch a ferry to Islay, outbound on a week’s fishing trip and had been keeping an eye on the weather forecast all week as I had this idea that in the right conditions there might be a rather nice sunrise as the sun lifted over Arran out in the Firth of Clyde.
Touch Glen Waterfall (Gilmour’s Linn ) and Cave
A bit of a forgotten gem this location, Gilmour’s Linn up Touch Glen near Cambusbarron. There is not very much information online about this place but it is a stunning location if you know how to find it. Unfortunately ( or maybe fortunately?) even with a map it can be hard to find. I have been there 4 times now over the last 10 years or so and still make mistakes each time I go.
