I hope you have enjoyed these Photographs of Scotland and it will encourage you to come and visit Scotland , remember the camera for the wonderful photographs of her landscape . I hope you will also return to the site to see more Photographs of Scotland and Scottish Landscape Photography, as I add more images to the gallery. Hopefully the photographs have helped you know Scotland a little bit better.

I described my feelings for this image in the copy accompanying the first photograph in the Gallery, I wish I had pipe music on the site to accompany these two photographs, can you imagine that each time they were clicked, you would hear the inspirational and haunting strains of the theme music from 'Braveheart' or the pipes and drums playing the magnificent slow air of 'Highland Cathedral' because in a way, as I sit and watch the shafts of light break through the dark skies and dance over the Castle and Monument, and the clouds lift from the slopes of Dumyat and Ben Cleuch,, I feel this is a Cathedral, , one filled with the history and majesty of a beautiful country and a resting place fit for heroes.

These famous Scottish icons dominate Scotland's newest City. In March of 2002 Stirling became the country's sixth City, a well deserved title for the town at the very heart of Scotland.
Stirling , meaning 'place of strife' sits at the lowest crossing point of the River Forth, a strategic position which played a large part in the development of the town and why it had such a dominating effect on the history of Scotland.

The names of Wallace and Bruce are intertwined with the town as of course is Mary Queen Of Scots, Bonnie Prince Charlie and John Knox who preached at the Church Of The Holy Rude and as you walk through the streets at the top of the town to the Castle, it is easy to imagine them beside you.

The new City offers much more than history for the visitor, an ideal base for touring the Trossachs, wonderful walks in the Ochil Hills and plenty to do for the younger members of the family.

HASTE YE BACK
