Scotland is one of those places that has a magical and mystical quality about it that stays with you long after you have left it. Some of that feeling may be due to the remote and rugged terrain that defines much of its landscape and prevents extensive encroachment of people, buildings and the everyday busy-ness of life.

It is an all too rare gift to experience places that captivate you in such a way as to remove the mental noise in your life and allow you to be fully present in that moment.

As you view this gallery, I hope the images will transport you to these places where time stands still and it soothes your soul.
