I did not manage to get much Autumn colour on my trip up to Perthshire the other day, but I did manage to catch a nice sunset at Queens View.
Some Autumn colour coming through at Kenmore, but the full display is not here yet.
The little lighthouse beneath the Forth Bridge has a remarkable history. It stands on the only surviving pier of Sir Thomas Bouch’s original Forth Bridge design.
One of those Scottish mornings when the weather does all the work. The Bass Rock sitting quietly offshore beneath a heavy blanket of cloud, while a little golden light managed to find its way through on the horizon.
The Knife Angel isn't simply about knives. It was created as the National Monument Against Violence and Aggression — a memorial to people who have lost their lives through violence, but also a powerful attempt to educate young people about the consequences of carrying weapons.
Last week I shared a pic of the Forth Bridge with this same cruise ship beneath it. A few days later, the ship was back — and this time I had the opportunity to photograph it from above. It's amazing how different the Forth can look from one visit to the next.

The Holland America Line’s Nieuw Statendam passing the Forth Bridge last night.
MEET TINDERELLA 🧜♀️ She apparently arrived in Pittenweem uninvited during the Arts Festival and decided she rather liked it there. Created by Scottish metal artist Kev Paxton of ArtFe, Tinderella now spends her days perched among the rocks overlooking the Firth of Forth.
A train passing through Burntisland Links. With the fair ground already for another day.

The Buck Moon over Edinburgh at dawn fades gently behind the castle as the first light of the day illuminates the city. One of those moments where planning and luck come together.
Loch Stack. The island in the middle is simply known as Ylen Loch Stack (from the Gaelic Eilean Loch Stack, meaning “Island of Loch Stack”).
There are some places in Scotland that never leave you. For me, Assynt is one of them. Standing there at sunset watching the light change as I took this shot was magical.
Pittenweem has to be one of Scotland’s most picturesque fishing villages.
I spotted this organ grinder sitting in the shade during a market in Provence. The light, the expression, the cigarette, the weathered instrument and that magnificent moustache all came together for one of my favourite portraits from the trip.
Dance like nobody is watching!!! Just make sure nobody is watching!!!
Lily No tricks. No AI. No endless burst mode. Just Lily, a roll of Ilford HP5, and Leica iii built in 1937. Sometimes the old ways are still the best.
Some pics of the Glasgow murals trail taken on my 61 year old Rolleiflex 3.5f film camera.
