The Scottish landscape is such an awesome place for a photography trip and having just spent a week around Glencoe and Assynt in the North West Highlands I was totally blown away byt the experience. Whilst the weather in Scotland is a little infamous for being wild and unpredictable I had some major luck at times so managed to see much of the area in some beautiful light and capture some nice images.
