Today I visited Glencoe. Conditions were wild a mix of torrential rain and light blizzards. Buachaille Etive Mor was not visible for virtually the whole day until the elements relented for five minutes about four in the afternoon.
This is my take on probably the most photographed cottage in the world and one of the most iconic views on the West Highland Way. For sure I will be back, Glencoe is hauntingly beautiful and atmospheric in these conditions.
This afternoon I braved the blizzards with the hope of clearing skies at Green Knowes Wind Farm.
For a fleeting moment there were pink skies and a touch of winter light on the marsh reeds.

I have just finished my illustrated talk which I am giving tomorrow night at the Art Club Rooms in St Andrews. The venue is just by the junction of Bridge Street and Argyle Street. The talk starts at 7:30pm and all are welcome.
The talk entitled "On the Edge" is about my last 5 years of Landscape Photography and contains both colour and black and white landscape photography from Loch Lomond, Perthshire, Fife, and Yorkshire.
Yesterday I was at the beautiful St James the Less church in Penicuik and then Prestonfield House Hotel for the wedding of Gill and Kenny. The sleat, gails and driving rain did little to dampen Gill's excitement when she arrived at the church and saw her bridesmaids.
The service was conducted by Father Robert J Warren and their was a moving performance by the church choir conducted by the groom's father. During the signing of the register I managed to capture a few stolen moments before the happy couple braved the elements. I believe no veils or hats were harmed.
All the wedding photographs should be on-line by next Sunday 18th January, there are some fabulous moments from the receiving line, speeches and dancing as well as some dramatic couple shots from inside the opulent hotel. I will also be back at Prestonfield House Hotel next month to photograph another wedding.
A few more wedding photographs from the reception at Prestonfield House Hotel will follow in a few days. In the meantime if you would like to leave a comment for the couple or myself please click on COMMENTS below as they will be checking the blog whilst on honeymoon.
