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)

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.

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.

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.

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 beach with turquoise see lapping on it reaches a headland covered in grass. A small ruin of a 16th century temple sits on the headland and breaks the horizon line. Beyond is the sea and another island just off shore. The sky is blue and no clouds.
