Twenty Photos Showing Why Photographers Absolutely Love Scotland

Scotland has been a favorite landscape photography destination since forever. It is easy to understand why. In this collection of photos I will show my favorites from my tour through western Scotland.

After 10 days photographing England and Wales, we entered Scotland. This part of the tour was one I was looking very much forward to. Scotland is known for its beauty, and landscape photographers have always treasured the region of Glencoe and the Isle of Skye. Both these famous locations were high on my priority list to photograph but we also experienced other beautiful locations. As in England, I had made a plan for what to visit in Scotland but it was not set in stone. We had the opportunity to improvise along the way if the weather looked too dreadful; clear blue sky, thick fog or low-hanging clouds, or a completely wash-out of rain.

Scotland is a place I will return to for sure. Have you been to Scotland or do you live there? Where is your favorite location or area for photography? In the video above I present some of these beautiful locations.

All amazing photos! I really want to go, maybe along with Ireland. England...not so much.

England is so beautiful too! And don't forget Wales either :)

Any exotic location is good fodder for great photographs. Try photographing in your own backyard for a challenge.

It does get a bit repetitive and boring + I have neither a waterfall or mountain in my backyard ;)

Maybe you should move to Scotland! ;-)

...says the guy who lives in California! ;-)

Easy to say for someone living in California ;)

I love the mood and feel in these fantastic images! Very Madsy :)

Haha, thanks a lot, Hans :)

Since my gf and I started talking of our next trip (road trip in Ireland and Scotland) we keep seeing posts like this :)
Those shots are amazing! Can’t wait to take some myself :)

I guess the algorithms are reading our minds ;) I hope you get some amazing shots too!

I absolutely adored Scotland when I was there. I'm surprised Edinburgh didn't make the list!
