Continuing with my travelogue abut the Scottish Highlands. On the same day we tried (and failed) to photograph a glorious sunrise at Kilchurn Castle, we drove a long circle around the Western Highlands: from Kilchurn to Tyndrum, then up the A82 to Glen Coe and then back down along the coast of Loch Linnhe, towards Oban. We also took a …
On my latest trip to the Scottish Highlands, I had made a long list of locations I wanted to photograph. Amongst the unmissable ones I had placed Kilchurn Castle, an ancient ruined keep that lies on a peninsula jutting into Loch Awe. The location is spectacular in itself, but even more at the golden hour, when the castle can be …
by Ambra Pidroni and Attilio Pregnolato. An Italian version of this article originally appeared at The World’s Paths. Isle of Skye, the place where ancient myths and legends were born. Vikings who came from the cold and bloodthirsty Scotsmen confronted each other in these lands where stories of elves and druids abund. How could we not visit such a place? …
I was debating between me and myself whether this should be considered a natural landscape, considering its main feature is man-made, but let’s not be too fussy about classifications, OK? This is Greenan Castle, in Ayrshire, Scotland and the photo was taken one gloomy September morning during our annual G+ Euro Photowalk. We got on the spot as the tide …
I recently had the pleasure of meeting again my good friend Gordon Laing of Camera Labs and All About The Gear fame and he graciously consented to be interviewed while he was busy shooting long exposures on the rocks of Dunure, Scotland. In the brief space of five minutes, he managed to share a wealth of tips about long exposures …

Some of them take a few photos at sunset and leave as soon as the colors in the sky start fading. Others, like me, choose to wait a little bit longer. Even though the pinks and the oranges are there no more and the …
My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here; My heart’s in the Highlands a-chasing the deer; A-chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe, My heart’s in the Highlands wherever I go. Robert Burns I finally found the time to process some of the photos from my recent trip to Scotland and wanted to share with you some of the highlights from the …
I discovered Finnich Glen while searching online for places to photograph in Scotland and was immediately attracted to it. Here a small river cuts through the sandstone bedrock to form a deep gully that is completely hidden from view by a copse of trees. Even from the road bridge that crosses the water it is all but invisible. One has …
The Clyde Auditorium, familiarly known as “The Armadillo”, is a concert venue and auditorium in Glasgow, Scotland. The building sits on the site of the now infilled Queen’s Dock on the River Clyde, adjacent to the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre. (From Wikipedia). Scotland, land of lochs, glens, castles and daring modern architecture. From afar, my expectations for a visit …
