"celebrating the landscapes of the British Isles through photography"
Cairngorms and East Coast
The Cairngorms are the focal point of a national park in north east Scotland, established in 2003. It was the second of two national parks established by the Scottish Parliament, after Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, set up in 2002. The park covers the Cairngorms range of mountains, and surrounding hills. Already the largest national park in the British Isles, in 2010 it expanded into Highland and Perth and Kinross. Extending east from the Cairngorms, the region is bounded by the Moray Firth and the North Sea. Geographically diverse, the landscape in the south of the region is comprised predominantly of undulating farmland, but as you travel further north, this gives way to wooded glens, mountains and increasingly harsh land fringed by a dramatic coast of cliffs and long sandy beaches.

Rattray Dunes - East Coast
The dunes at Rattray Head are up to 75 ft high and stretch 17 miles from St Combs to Peterhead. Between the foredunes and the main dunes are dune slacks which are low lying depressions. In winter these are often close to or even below the water table as can be seen in the background. The nearby Loch of Strathbeg is the largest dune slack pool in Britain.
