My images and stories from Scotland.
We are both Scots, I hail from Aberdeen, the town of my birth and Lossiemouth, our home town; my lovely lady Jo is originally a Gourock lass, we met on the wonder that was the internet.
We moved back home to Scotland in 2022, to a very rural location which we now absolutely love. The walks, the wildlife, the sky.
As an amateur photographer I am making the most of every moment I can, I am out walking or wandering our “patch” as often as possible, almost always with a camera.
This is where I’d like to share memories of those wanderings and musings.
I no longer do mainstream (anti)social media, it is ruining our lives!

I have started using PeerTube to share my time lapse videos and any birds / wildlife clips I can make, I’d love it if you have a look some time.

Have a look at Walk Highlands
Dare I say it?
Has Spring finally sprung in this wee corner of Perthshire?
Not a Pheasant Plucker!
Remember these things when you were younger? I was searching, in my brain, for a title for this one and ….. I’ve been off here for a while now, not sure why, I seem to have been in a bit of a doldrum lately. I’m finding that everything, everywhere is becoming very watered down so…
A good day for a walk
February 27th – I’ve been hankering after a walk to Scurdieness lighthouse for quite some time now. There’s about a one hour drive across Angus to get there, on the East coast and on the South shore of the River South Esk opposite the town of Montrose. Our weather apps had been foretelling of a…
Another chilly wander
February 12th – back up to Backwater reservoir for a wander, used to visit two or three times a week but that has tailed off a little, i think the forestry work and the weather of course has decided for me but I’m trying to get back there as often as possible.
How low can you get?
As I approached the lane I started to hear a deep droning sound. I couldn’t quite work out the direction or even what it was, an aircraft taking off from Dundee? A tractor in the field over the hill?
More cute?
Having edited and loaded up my shots of the Red Squirrel yesterday, this morning when I started Lightroom, I clicked on a folder named 2024! I clicked on a few empty folders below that until … I stumbled upon a selection of “heelan coo” shots. I now remember these were in the field across the…
First of the year!
The first Red Squirrel shots of the year and I’m hoping for many more
Birds on the Patch
February 11th – My usual loop, along the top of the field, down to the wild cam site and up to the feeding post. I’m starting to realise I have a few stopping points on these walks, which vary depending on activity and the route I take.
Great article and information from Mark
I read this piece a few days back and the little section on Auto-ISO has revolutionized my image taking to a great degree. I’ve been using Manual for a long time and tweaking ISO / Speed as i shot but now i have this set up it has become so much easier to just focus…
Walking in Dreich
Much as I love the word dreich, it just works, I am getting truly fed up of it, grey, dull, dank skies, often raining and not real rain but that misty wet stuff that clings when it lands. To my memory, the last sunny day we had was Jan 19th when i went up to…
