Last Visit - Castle Tioram, Dorlin, #Moidart

Before leaving Resipole for our new home in Speyside today, I took a last visit to Castle Tioram. A special place for so many, and famously Winston Churchill, who allegedly proclaimed it as the 2nd most beautiful place on earth. It was easy to see why.

Catching a quiet moment on the loch shore here at Resipole this evening, as a calm and beautiful winter day comes to an end. One of life’s absolute pleasures, especially after the stormy weather of the past couple of days.

Thanks for sharing this Liz. Much appreciated.

Thanks Freya, much appreciated

Violet & Gold - Loch Sunart from Rockpool House, Resipole

A sight I will miss when leaving Rockpool House in 2 weeks time. Three minutes of gold from the setting sun and violet from storm clouds mixing over Loch Sunart. It’s been a privilege to have this view from my home for the past decade.

Thanks ever so much Tim, much appreciated. If you’re ever up in Speyside, drop me a message. It’d be great to meet up.

New Blog: Farewell Ardnamurchan

After almost ten years of living on the Ardnamurchan peninsula, I reflect on how a decade of photographing its rugged landscape has forged a deep connection to it and how its untamed spirit will continue to pull me back after I leave. Find out more at bit.ly/4hZDUKN.

Down from the Hills - Rockpool House, Resipole, #Sunart

A sure sign of autumn having arrived is seeing that the deer have come down from the hills. Here was mother and child feeding on the low ground behind the house when I stepped outside the house first thing the other morning.
