When I was deep in the midst of my Hebrides books I’d dream of the islands. A recurring dream of one island in particular. It wasn’t an actual island, or even a place on a specific island. But I always knew that in the dream it was the same distant island.

When I was deep in the midst of my Hebrides books I’d dream of the islands. A recurring dream of one island in particular. It wasn’t an actual island, or even a place on a specific island. But I always knew that in the dream it was the same distant island.

I named the island Ealabhaigh. I don’t belong to a place in the Hebrides, so I’ve created my own. This ongoing series is how I imagine it. Impressions of an island that only I have seen. Memories of a place I’ve never been to.

I am absolutely buzzing to announce Beautiful Shambles, a visual love letter to Glasgow with all its character, charm and contradictions. For one weekend, four Scottish artists come together to share what this city means to us, each in our own language of image, colour and place.

I live in a very agricultural area with big open fields, so it's always a bit of challenge photographically. Abstracts shapes are one way round it. #ruralabstracts #abstract #photography #Aberdeenshire 📷

I just logged in again and suddenly I have lots of new followers. So hello! I guess I should introduce myself. I’m a Scottish landscape photographer, landscape architect and the author of two books - Explore & Discover The Inner and Explore and Discover The Outer Hebrides which came out last year.

Over on twitter I’ve been posting a daily image of the Hebrides (#dailyhebrides) so I might continue that on BlueSky…do hashtags work here? Here’s todays one - a cold midwinter morning on the beach at Tolsta in Lewis
