Highlands & Heritage

Where the wild landscapes meet the storied past of Scotland

2023 / 2024


From Aberdeenshire, the Lower Highlands, and the Isle of Skye.

My husband and I were fortunate to spend two extended trips in Scotland for a total of more than 10 weeks. Both times based out of Aberdeen, where we became quite familiar with the coastline and countryside.


Scotland has become one of our very favorite places on earth, and only those who have visited would understand how magical the Scottish landscapes truly are.
