Scotland provides the most astounding scenery for both the amateur and the professional photographer.
Scottish Artists:
Jack Vettriano was born is Scotland in 1951. Many people consider his work "poster art" however it remains fact that he is Scotland's most successful living artist. The Singing Butler (shown left - click to enlarge and more info) is, most probably, his most famous work to date.
James Abbott McNeill Whistler 1834 -1903. Whistler has certainly left his mark, much contoversy has been generated from speculation that he was, or knew, Jack The Ripper. Shown right is Whistler's painting Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1: Portrait of the Painter's Mother (click to enlarge and further info.
Scottish Scenes:
Eillean Donan Castle : Used as a location in the Hollywood Blockbuster Highlander this castle (click image to view an enlargement and a bit more info) is the most photographed place in Scotland. Well worth a visit, in fact it should be considered a must.
Hebridean Blackhouse: The photograph to the left (click to enlarge) shows a Hebridean Blackhouse which was a common site across the Isle of Harris in the Hebrides but sadly there are only a few left now and most are just ruins. Visit the Harris section of the Virtual Hebrides
Wickerman Music Festival 2010 : A selection of photographs taken at the latest Wickerman Festival. If you don't know, the Wickerman Festival is a music and arts festival celebrating the Wickerman movie, Scottish music and the best of the old and new, all wrapped up in the most family friendly environment in the United Kingdom. If you have always wanted to go to a music festival but have a young family this is the place to go, if you don't believe me just a take a look at all the photos on the net.
Hebridean Sunset: The photograph to the right (click to enlarge) shows a Hebridean sunset, the Hebrides are, without doubt, one of the most beautifully untouched areas of the world. Visit the Virtual Hebrides for more info on the area.
Eillean Glas Lighthouse: Eillean Glas Lighthouse on the Isle of Scalpay in the Western Isles is a most beautifully tranquil place to spend a summer afternoon or a days fishing off the rocks.. Visit the Scalpay section of the Virtual Hebrides for a most interesting and extremely large site about this small island in the Outer Hebrides / Western Isles
