With our summer season well underway we were delighted to get going with our first tour to the Isle of Mull for 2019. A perfect day exploring the wild mountain tracks took us to the north coastline, with views over to the mountains of Lochaber on the mainland, and time to enjoy the stunning […]
Scotland can be cold! With the coldest ever UK temperature of −27.2 °C (−17.0 °F) recorded at Altnaharra, in the Highlands, on 30 December 1995, Scotland is the coldest place in the UK. Today it is pretty chilly too. Around -6 Celsius in the Stirling area and much colder further north we really do know […]

Springtime is a fabulous time of year for a tour of the Scottish Highlands and Islands. This year was no exception, and John was on tour with his guests to the Isle of Skye. The cold sunny weather was perfect for photography. The visibility on the majestic Cuillin Mountains was excellent. The tour began in […]
The setting of Holyrood Palace is quite special. Sitting in the wide expanse of historic Holyrood Park is sheltered by the imposing volcanic hill of Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags. This extinct volcano goes back 350 million years. We enjoyed an off-season visit to this royal home. At times on the tour we were the […]
