Riddle's Court - a picturesque 16th century Category A-listed merchant’s house in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town. Accessed from the bustling Royal Mile, a walk through the vennel becomes a tranquil walk through time. #scotland #visitscotland #visitscotlandfeature

Life on the Seas - Santa Ponça, Majorca, España

Culross, Fife, Scotland - such an iconic location but I always struggle to picture it without cars, bins or people in the way. I like to be honest with my edits so included the pre Photoshoped image also to show the array of recycling bins that bring a ruinous modern blight to the location...

The Prettiest Electric Substation in Scotland - long exposure taken last night outside the electric substation in Culross, Scotland - to most passers by it looks like a house.

Puffin Surprise Feast - I can't help but be drawn to the sheer horror on the face of one of the sand eels that are about to become dinner for the young puffling in the burrow. One of the many puffins currently on the Isle of May, Scotland #puffin #puffins #canonphotography #eosr7 #rf100500

"Possibly it had occurred to him the colossal significance of that light had now vanished forever... It had seemed as close as a star to the moon. Now it was a green light on a dock. His count of enchanted objects had diminished by 1" ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby Bo'ness Harbour, Scotland

Christmas Eve, Edinburgh, Scotland - long exposure

Long exposure shots of the restored Rosebank Whisky Distillery in Falkirk - home of lowland single malt. Bumped into a woman who stated she had an unopened bottle and a small cask she acquired from its previous life, I suggested she might want to get them valued! Taken on Canon EOS r7

I love wondering around when it's foggy during blue hour, without any particular aim or purpose, but I'm always drawn to lights shining into the darkness, and something about fuel stations in remote / isolated places I really love.
