If you intend taking pictures, lots of pictures when you visit Scotland, then the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park should be high on your list of places to see. Loch Lomond is rightfully known worldwide, but the rest of the Trossachs is every bit as beautiful The recently created National Park has allways been a favourite of the Scots. Take a sail on the Sir Walter Scott up Loch Katrine which is surrounded by the hills which gave shelter to Rob Roy, or walk the shores of the magically named Loch Drunkie. Wherever you go in the Trossachs pictures await.

This photograph of Achray Forest near Aberfoyle in the Trossachs was taken within an hour of the previous shot , demonstrating how the light can change so dramatically. The Landscape photographer has to rise early to capture his photograph and a knowledge of the weather and compass, helps in the planning of the shoot. Planning is essential in Scottish landscape photography as the light can pass you by so quickly.

The lovely shades of Dawn cast their hues over the cloud as the morning light breaks over Achray Forest in the Trossachs. Loch Achray sits under the cloud at the bottom of the Dukes Pass.
If you have not already visited the Trossachs around Aberfoyle then hopefully the images you have seen will encourage you to do so or entice you back.

I don't think I can say anymore about this area, if you have followed the tour through the gallery you will know it well by this time. But for more detailed information on the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park click here.
