Scotland: Fine Art Photography for Sale

Sally Ross’s new book, Dornoch and the Northern Highlands is now available for purchase!

I’ll end this 30-day saga with a very personal image: the view from my beloved cottage outside Dornoch…. A simple pasture, pines, a rock wall, but such drama!

From Celtic heroes of old through clan battles and the Clearances, Glencoe represents the grandeur and the agonies that are Scotland.

The lochs, hills, grasses, and skies of the Northern Highlands change constantly under shifting light and clouds. One minute the scene is dark and eerie, and the next moment sunlight dances across hills and fields as in this shot…. No wonder the Highlands are known for their drama, both natural and human.

Deep July cold followed us as we drove the northern Highlands. The dark, flat waters near Loch Loyal, the wind in the grasses, and the gray, foreboding clouds suggest both the vastness the land and the intensity of the weather.

During a day trip around the isles of Orkney, I couldn’t top creating images of the place. This sunset view from the ferry to John ‘O Groats lingers with me still. You’ll find many photographs from Orkney in my collection.

Even the single track roads are on the map in Scotland, allowing adventurers like us to find undiscovered secrets such as this view of Glen Cassley at the end of the 11 mile road off the A839.

…we waved, backed around and down the hill, stopping to capture this charming croft house in the fields below. What history have these places known?

We know Loch Lomond from song: “Oh, ye’ll tak’ the high road…And indeed those banks are bonnie!

In honor of American Veterans Day, I publish this image of one of our WWII colleagues, the Highlanders of Scotland…. a Highlander captured by the Nazis who escaped and was found by the American Army…. As he put it, “I went in a Highlander and came out a Yank!” Read the rest of the story!
