Remote yet so rewarding to visit, Coll & Tiree sit side by side out beyond the Isle of Mull. But for two such close neighbours, their characters are quite different. Low-lying Tiree has become Scotland's wind-surfing capital thanks to its wonderful beaches. Coll is rockier, less populated and is the choice for those seeking a quiet retreat from the busy world.
A photographic journey along the River Spey to the sea. This collection begins at the summits of the Cairngorms and features the Speyside distilleries - among the most visited in Scotland - the Moray Firth s picturesque harbours and beaches and the county town of Elgin.
A photographic trek along and around the West Highland Way, one of life s exciting and memorable adventures for those who embark on it. This book shows the route at different times of the year to give an idea of how conditions can vary widely through the seasons. Many of the pictures were taken from the West Highland Way itself, while others view it from nearby so as to give a broader idea of the surrounding landscape. It also includes some places just off the route to encourage the occasional detour to take in fine views that are close enough to include or to inspire a further visit to explore them more thoroughly.
The Isle of Arran sits cradled within the stretch of sea between Ayrshire to its east and the Mull of Kintrye to its west. It is often described as Scotland in miniature because, just like the rest of Scotland, it has everything! Its character is extremely diverse. On the wild side there are craggy mountains, Goatfell being the highest while Cir Mhor is the most challenging. Arran s top 10 peaks are all above 610m/2000ft. The island is blessed with lovely glens, waterfalls and rivers and a fine collection of villages. The port and main resort is Brodick, nicely framed by the backdrop of Goatfell and the surrounding mountains which provide a constantly changing scene according to the time of year, the weather conditions and the time of day.
