Of the many watchtowers to line the once volatile border between Scotland and England, Smailholm Tower is a little different from most as the local estate was known to be an inspiration to a young Sir Walter Scott #visitscotland #travelphotography #Castle #goldenhour

Looking across the Firth of Forth from the quirky breakwater at the small harbour town of St. Monans. Despite sitting beyond the harbour wall and almost hidden from view its a popular spot for photographers. #VisitScotland #scotland #travelphotography #PhotographyIsArt #seascape

The island of Ithaki, close to Kefalonia in the Greek Ionian Islands, is nothing short of idyllic. Here the views looking east across the lush vegetation towards the Greek mainland are simply outstanding #Greece #travel #travelphotography #vacationvibes #vacations

The views from the top of Calton Hill in Edinburgh are spectacular particularly looking in a westerly direction across the city towards the castle #Edinburgh #Castle #Scotland #cityscape #travels #travelphotography

The picturesque buildings in Dean Village Edinburgh are reflected in the Water of Leith. Its only a short walk from the busy city centre to this popular spot for photographers but it couldnt be more of a contrast #edinburgh #photographylovers #travelphotography

On the edge of the Kalahari desert in Namibia two giraffes show us interest as we pass by. Such majestic creatures and we will hopefully never tire of photographing them in their natural habitat #travelphotography #wildlifephotography #Africa

A waterside table at the harbourside in the pretty village of Frikes on Ithaki. A slow pace of life brings time to really take in the scenery #greece #greekislandlife #travelphotography

Abbotsford House, near Melrose in the Scottish Borders was home to Sir Walter Scott. Its so easy to lose a few hours in the gardens with wonderful views of the house overlooking the river Tweed #ScotlandisCalling #travelphotography #scotland #gardensoftwitter

There is so much more to the island of Mallorca than blue sky and beaches. The Serra de Tramuntana mountains provide spectacular hiking opportunities and autumn, when the days are cooler, is the perfect time of year to explore #majorca #travelphotography #countryside #Spain

The Algarve, in the south of Portugal is rightly famous for its stunning coastline but its interior is also well worth a visit as are the outstanding West Coast beaches to which this road leads #Portugal #Travel #Algarve #travelphotography

Praia da Bordeira - The Algarve in Portugal is best known for its beaches on the south coast, but on the western Atlantic coast they are wild and windswept. Used by surfers, they are quieter than those on the south coast. We will return #algarve #Portugal #travelphotography

Kilchurn Castle on the banks of Loch Awe must be one of Scotland's most photogenic .... and there is stiff competition. Low lying cloud hugging the hillside after heavy rainfall seems to make it more atmospheric #Scotland #landscapephotography #photography #scottishcastle
