Ah good ones Jim. That last one, you have got the light just perfect. It is not easy to photograph in the low light.

Thanks Tawi, sadly I don't think I have anything in digital form and I'm not sure what I have in my film archives.

I've driven on the roads up there on several car meets with my mates and taken loads of shots but we had to concentrate rather hard to stay on the road and we didn't stop that often

I have a friend who has some seriously stunning digital work that includes Glencoe but he's in the business and his work is copyright so I would be reluctant to post on here.

Here's another few.

This is one of mine, an unusual take on Loch Fyne

Kodachrome almost correctly exposed for the subject which was the sun a touch of astro photography



And this one is another from the same vantage point as that Port Glasgow sunset, I used to live very close to here.




Loch Awe Argyll




Loch Lyon, bigger shot because you need the size to appreciate the light, not so nice in the smaller size this was taken on my final drive with my mates round the north before I sold the car.



We were seriously committed to touring Scotland



Mine was the yellow one, I had so much fun seeing Scotland in that car

Wow!!! nice cars!!! Can you still see that view if you are roaming around scotland by train? Our pics from Loch Rannoch Hotel overlooking Schiehallion Mountain, and boating all over lochs with Dad and hubby

They're just Honda's Penny, very nice Honda's it has to be said, but completely the wrong car for driving in the snow plus we had a crazy Scottish rule which was - top down whatever the weather

I think the best views are to be found by road or on foot there are a great many single track roads running through the mountains particularly in the far north up past Inverness.

By train, well the west highland line is reputed to be really stunning, I've not been on it since I was a child so I don't remember much. The West Highland line is what you see in the Harry Potter movies I believe. The trains don't cover so much of the country any more.

Looks like you had fun in Scotland Penny but it looks a bit cold
