Dornoch Firth

Somewhere I can't remember. It was somewhere on the A838 going North.

A very dramatic change in weather. The reason we were unable to head to Cape Wrath on this occasion. Somewhere on the A838 about 10 miles south of Durness.

Somewhere in the Cairngorms

Awesome rainbow in the Cairngorms that was literally at the same height as we were.

    Would really like to see more of the foreground in the A838 shot. The foreground is the most interesting part of the image.
    The last storm shot is also very compelling. Nice work.

    Thanks again all, much appreciated :)

    Aaron, I'll have a look though the images I have. It's possible I have a wider view of the scene from the A838 road.

    All wonderful shots of a very photogenic country. What's not to love - beautiful landscape, storms, rainbows, and my favorite - Highland Cattle!

    Cheers all. :) It is indeed a beautiful place.

    Pathfinder, sadly we didn't walk to the Old man of Storr but it's on the list definitely for next time.

    A great set of images. The more I see of Scotland, the more I understand why so many people of Scottish descent settled in Montana.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you. If you do get the chance, then yes visit Scotland. May is generally the best month for warmer and dryer weather :)
