Inverness

It was raining a little but there was almost no wind which made the reflection perfect. A few of our photography group are in the last image.

Portree

The photography group stayed at an old inn, The Royal Hotel in Portree offering Sea View Accommodation with Bar and Restaurant in Portree on The Isle of Skye. Our room was at the top and there was no elevator. We had a lovely view.

St John’s Doors

A lovely Scottish church by Loch Leven, Scotland.

Some church and hut doors for Dan’s Thursday Doors: https://nofacilities.com/2026/06/04/iowa-doors-2/

St John’s 2 of 3

Scenes of the church at dawn. In the first 5 photographs I used some AI to put in grass or a path over concrete.

St John’s 1 of 3

The lovely St. John’s Scottish Episcopalian Church is by Loch Leven in Ballachulish, Scotland. It is a deeply Scottish Church whose history is interwoven with the whole story of Christianity in Scotland – back to the Celtic Saints like Ninian and Columba and through the Scottish Reformation and all the turbulence which followed. Pictures of the church to follow.

We came to photograph the dawn light.

Castle Stalker

A lovely evening photoshoot of Castle Stalker – Wikipedia on Loch Laich in Apin, Scotland. Our little photography group is in the first picture. Marc likes photographing walls. The rim light on the sheep is special.

Glenfinnan Viaduct

The Harry Potter Bridge (Glenfinnan Viaduct – Wikipedia) and a statue to Bonnie Prince Charley on Glenfinnan Monument | National Trust for Scotland. I thought this was an odd stop for landscape photography. It is very touristy. The closeup of the statue was done with my Nikon P11000 at 1600mm. It has a ridiculous zoom! There were a few birds by the cafe.
