The Red Roofed Cottage overlooking Loch Shieldaig on the Applecross peninsula in the North West Highlands.

The early morning autumn colours on Buachaille Etive Mor from Beinn a'Chrulaiste.

Loch Leathan, the Isle of Skye, with the rock pinnacle of the Old Man of Storr in the background.

Even in mid July there was still snow on the summit of Ben Nevis. What else to do but to body sledge down the slope.

I went to Glen Etive and it rained, good Scottish Rain. There was drizzle, vertical rain, horizontal rain, sleet and torrential rain. What to do - replicate the James Bond Skyfall image. OK so its not an Aston Martin DB5 and I'm certainly not Daniel Craig - but I like the shot anyway. It was the only good shot I got in two days.

For 15 minutes about 0600 on two or three days each year this happens in Finnich Gorge. Too early in the year and the sun is not high enough, too late and it has moved round out of view. The photo was taken standing knee deep in the freezing water. Am I nuts?

Sunrise over the mountains of Assynt from Sgurr an Fhidhleir (the Fiddler). I wild camped on the peak of the Fiddler to catch dawn over the North West Highlands. I didn't get much sleep as the tent was battered by 40mph winds, gusting to 60mph, but it was worth it.

Fionn's Rock, Glenn Dà-Eigg or by its alternative name, 'The Praying Hands of Mary'. The rock was said to have been split by Fingal's arrow in the 5th Century.

I raced up the mountain to catch the dawn over the Highlands. Buachaille Etive Mor is the mountain to the right, with Beinn a'Chrulaiste centre and Rannoch Moor in the distance.

The view south from Cul Mor in Assynt in the North West Highlands as a rain storm blows over Stac Pollaidh. Cul Beag is the mountain the the left with the pointed peak of the Fiddler in the distance.
