VW Camper Van – Highland Hobo introduce ‘Peanut’
Highland Hobo offer classic, vintage, VW camper vans for wedding hire across the North of Scotland and recently they welcomed ‘Peanut’, all the way from South Africa, to their fleet of Volkswagens.

The Wee Studio – a Pottery in a Public Toilet!
It’s not everyday you can go into a public toilet with a camera and get away with it! In Nairn, behind the putting green and playpark, sits the old public toilet block – inside it has been converted on one side into an artisan ice-cream factory (hopefully more on that in the future) and on […]
A Trip to Assynt – a Study in Curves
One advantage of having moved to the north of Scotland is that I am much closer to the wilder areas of the country than I have ever been before. One of these areas that I had never explored before is Assynt, an area of outstanding beauty on the west coast north of Ullapool and a […]
Cairngorm Leaf and Bean – Coffee Roasting in the Highlands
For the second of my occasional ‘People and Process’ series I visited Sharon Wooler and Andy Mallon of Cairngorm Leaf and Bean, who are based at The Dava School House near Grantown-on-Spey.

Old Pulteney Distillery – a Pure Maritime Malt Whisky
I do like a fine malt whisky! In 2012 Old Pulteney 21 year old was awarded “World Whisky of the Year” by the prestigious “Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible.” Scoring a record-equalling 97.5 points out of 100, it is only the third time that a single malt has ever won the prestigious award, and they were […]
Towheads on the Move
Just before Christmas I took on what proved to be one of the biggest jobs I have ever done- photographing the moving of towheads (they go on each end of an oil pipeline in the north sea) from Invergordon to Wick, and all points in-between. This is the story of that job. deugro are a […]
Orkney – Final Thoughts
For the last of my reports from Orkney, I have just a few images to share from the amazing geology on the island and a couple of the stained glass windows in St. Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall. The rocks vary so much over the islands there was always something else to see. Can you spot the […]
Orkney – The Broch of Gurness
On to the Broch of Gurness on Orkney, the third part of my brief visit to the islands. Brochs are an Iron Age building that can look a little like a modern power station cooling tower. Large, circular, tall and tapering they are all over the place on Orkney – although mostly as a ring […]
