Landscape Photography - Assynt and Lochinver North West Scotland
A weeks holiday in the far north west of Scotland allows me to explore this beautiful undiscovered part of the West Coast of Scotland. The area is truly spectacular with many opportunities for landscape and wildlife photography. Unfortunately a week is never enough but one thing we did learn is that we will be back. A place you would find hard to grow tired of. This video tries to show a few of the other images I took during the week although I did not vlog at each location (this was a family holiday after all) Endless possibilities left me only just scratching the surface and a blood moon on the last evening over the spectacular White Mountain. Watch to the end to see the shot!

B869 Unapool to Lochinver entire length time lapse
The B869 is a route that serves the tiny communities along it including Drumbeg. It is a challenging drive with many unsighted switchback bends on single track mountain roads, but the scenary is worth it!
Played back at 15 times normal speed.
Farewell Lochinver & 2015 ,Hello 2016
Today was the last day in Lochinver . Jack Frost had been busy throughout the night .The moon was shining in a fantastic blue sky so it was with a heavy heart we said good bye to our hosts .I have never stayed in such a wonderful B and B where service 5star in excellence. The breakfast menu so varied , rooms better than many hotels .try the web site and sample Scotland .This corner is akin to paradise . The little video here is made up of photographs and clips made today .I've attempted to show that beauty , drama and nature which is such a part of Sutherland... The journey back was started a little earlier than usual. Wise after a week of shocking floods in Southern Scotland , Yorkshire , Cumbria and Northern England . Between Glasgow and Carlisle the rain began. The film was edited as I drove passenger seat and all it needs now is a smooth run leading to uploading . A Very Happy New Year to All ….Why not consider your 2016 holiday .
