Tucked away near Uig, the Fairy Glen on Skye is a landscape of mystery, shaped by landslides but steeped in legend. Though not ancient in history, its whimsical hills and spiral paths have inspired tales of fairies for generations.

It was built in 1565 by John Carswell, a reforming churchman and the first Protestant Bishop of the Isles. The castle was designed to reflect the power and status of the Earl of Argyll, Carswell's patron. It was later captured and partly destroyed during Argyll's rebellion against James VII in 1685.

Two different perspectives of Stirling Castle with Stuc a'Chroin & Ben Vorlich. I'll be sharing a video soon of how you can capture something similar and disproving the myth that the mountains are photoshopped in these images :)

It's all about your positioning and your subjects! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›

This spot is roughly 3 miles to the castle then a further 20 miles to the mountain. I've got a little video coming soon which will show you the behind the scenes of creating this image and how you can do it yourself ๐Ÿ“ท.

between Scotland and Norway for control of the Hebrides. The Scots gained control in 1266, but the castle continued to see action during the Wars of Independence. Robert the Bruce famously besieged it around 1308.

The castle served as a luxurious home for the Earls of Morton, particularly James Douglas, 4th Earl of Morton, who was briefly Regent of Scotland. It remained in use until the late 17th century when a fire caused significant damage. By the 18th century, it had largely fallen into ruin.

It was built by the de Mortimer family before passing to the Douglas family in the 14th century. The castle was expanded over the centuries, with notable additions in the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries, transforming it from a medieval fortress into a Renaissance style residence.
