There are few places that are as deeply rooted in my heart as Scotland—this is where I discovered my love of landscape photography. From the rugged northern coastline to the endless expanses of the Highlands, the tranquil moorlands and mysterious lochs, the landscape is full of mysticism and magic. Take the Old Man of Storr: some say that a giant is buried there, while others tell of a pair of lovers who were turned to stone by fairies. The silence, vastness and constantly changing light, ranging from gloomy grey to dramatic gold, are unique and will never leave you.
