Iconic Landscapes of Scotland
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.

Skye Sandcastles
Location: Near Old Man of Storr, Trotternish Peninsula, Isle of Skye, Scotland
The first thing I thought when I saw this rock formation was that it looked like a drip sandcastle. I used to make them at the beach when I was a kid…and maybe as an adult too. You use really wet sand, hold up your hand and let it flow through your fingers over and over until you have built a castle masterpiece! It’s quite relaxing...until a wave comes in and takes it all away and you have to start over.
This spiky pinnacle belongs to an iconic rock grouping called The Storr. The Old Man of Storr, not pictured, is the most well-known but I think this “drip castle” rock is pretty impressive in its own right.
