Just a short drive from home, Fairburn Tower is a rare survival from the Scottish Renaissance. Situated in beautiful Highland landscape, it was built around 1545 for Murdo Mackenzie, a favourite at the rich court of King James V and Mary of Guise. #lovewhereyoulive
It’s a beautiful day in the Scottish Highlands. With the first flush of Spring, life is bursting forth in my local woodland. The first wood anemones (Anemone nemorosa) coming into flower. As one of the first flowers to bloom they’re a vital source of food to emerging flies & bees.
The merry dancers were on show last night in the Scottish Highlands. A very lucky helicopter pilot flies right through it.
A misty morning travelling to Inverness as Storm Amy approaches. We’re expecting 100mph winds tonight in the Scottish Highlands.
The summer fades away again, as autumn begins her show. A beautiful start to the day here in the #scottishhighlsnds. I can smell the changing of the season in the air. Bring on starry nights, cosy fires and crunchy leaves.
It’s International Dog Day. A great opportunity to celebrate Gracie, my boss and all round adventurer. Pic taken beside the ruins of Ardvreck Castle, beside Loch Assynt in the #scottishhighlands
Woke up to mist up the Glen this morning. Harvest time in the Scottish Highlands.
It’s another beautiful day in the Scottish Highlands. Had to stop at Loch Mallachie and take a bit of time to breathe & reflect on how lucky I am to live here.
The best pork pie of my life this weekend on the summit of Sgurr Dhomhnuill, in Ardgour, the Scottish Highlands. ❤️ where you live!
A beautiful sunset on a special mountain, the first I climbed as a child, and every year since. Suilven, in the North West Highlands of Scotland. 📸 by Johnny MacAulay
A picture taken from a summit in the Cairngorms shows the scale of ongoing wildfires in the Carrbridge and Dava areas of the Scottish Highlands. Several fires started on Saturday by humans “wild camping”, setting campfires and leaving bbq’s behind.
Lenticular and iridescent clouds over beautiful Lochaber in the Scottish Highlands earlier today.
Lenticular clouds on my way home last night. Beautiful.

Enjoying the last few days of warm, autumnal sunshine before winter arrives in the Highlands next week. ‘Mon the snow! ❄️🏂🏔️
Blue skies and warm sunshine in the Highlands today. Took off for a yomp around the beautiful village of Drumnadrochit by Loch Ness and met this gorgeous girl at Drumbuie Farm. #coosday #highlandcoos #scottishhighlands
