This personalised trip takes you to one of the most stunning locations in Scotland, offering you an intimate and immersive experience.
Designed to give you a true feel for Scotland’s natural splendour, these trips not only enhance your photography skills but also deepen your understanding and appreciation of the environment.
Have you ever wanted to photograph Glencoe—the dramatic heart of the Scottish Highlands? This full-day adventure is designed for individuals or small groups eager to capture the untamed beauty of one of Scotland’s most iconic landscapes. Whether you're an experienced photographer or just beginning your journey, I'll guide you to the most breathtaking locations, helping you frame towering mountains, misty valleys, and ever-changing light in a way that brings your images to life.
Glencoe is a photographer’s paradise, where rugged peaks slice into the sky and deep, winding glens create compositions that feel both timeless and cinematic. We’ll begin our journey as the morning mist can hug the valley floor, creating eerie, atmospheric shots that highlight the solitude and grandeur of this ancient land. As the day unfolds, shifting sunlight dances across the slopes of Buachaille Etive Mòr, casting dramatic shadows over its imposing triangular form—one of Scotland’s most photographed mountains. We'll explore reflective lochs where the still water mirrors the peaks above, creating perfect symmetry for striking landscape shots. Hidden waterfalls and winding roads weave through the glen, offering countless opportunities to experiment with movement and framing.
As a local, I know Glencoe like the back of my hand—the secret viewpoints, the best times for golden light, and the hidden gems that most visitors never find. With me, you'll go beyond the usual spots, venturing off the beaten path to uncover the raw, wild essence of the Highlands. I’ll share techniques to enhance your composition, master natural lighting, and adapt to the elements, ensuring you leave not only with incredible photos but with a deeper connection to this legendary place. Lace up your boots, grab your camera, and let's set out on an unforgettable photographic adventure!

Your Glencoe photography experience begins bright and early at the Green Welly Stop in Tyndrum, where you'll meet for an adventure capturing some of Scotland’s most breathtaking landscapes. If you’re coming from the west side of Glasgow, transportation options can be arranged to make the journey smoother. The morning light over Rannoch Moor offers a stunning spectacle, and you’ll have the chance to explore and photograph its vast, atmospheric scenery. Rolling mist, golden hues, and rugged terrain provide the perfect setting to hone your skills and create truly spectacular images.
After a rewarding morning, you’ll take a break at the Glencoe Visitor Centre, where you can enjoy a bite to eat and recharge before heading deeper into the valley. The next destination is the west side of Glencoe, where you’ll photograph the mighty Three Sisters—towering peaks that dominate the skyline—as well as hidden waterfalls cascading through the dramatic landscape. It’s an opportunity to experiment with composition, long exposure techniques, and capturing the sheer scale of nature. As the day winds down, you'll make your way back to Tyndrum, leaving with a collection of beautiful images and memories from this unforgettable photographic journey.
