Scottish Affair

A collection celebrating the best of Scotland.

I stayed in Scotland between 2016 and 2020, and I had a fantastic time. Earlier this month, I returned there in a bit of an unexpected and short visit, but it was enough to remind me of the features I loved there. And so, I made this collection from some of my favourite photos taken in Scotland, showcasing its merits. If you'd like to explore the scenes further, most images include captions with links to stories about the occasions when I captured them.

Let's start with natural wealth:

Stob Ban (as seen from Ben Nevis)

Impressive mountains, full of rugged textures,..

...are often decorated with splendid waterfalls.

Down in the glens, one can see lovely lochs...

Loch Shiel (as seen from the western slopes of Beinn An Tuim)

..and wildlife..

..while the weather spices the colours around.

Then there are the human-made features. Whether the old...

...the new, or anything in between.

Entire towns are pretty...

...and the infrastructure is too.


The locations are fab, but so is the process of getting there:

Under the Ben Oss

Regardless of the season, hiking in Scotland is amazing.

So is riding bikes!


From places to activities, I found myself reflecting on the memories of shared adventures.

And since this is a collection celebrating the lovely encounters I had in Scotland, I cannot end it without mentioning the fantastic people.

Whether we met in the hills, cities, academia, or at work, if it wouldn't be for the people, I wouldn't be able to enjoy the country the way I did. Cheers to all of you, legends.
