  • Black Isle

    The Black Isle is neither black nor an isle but a peninsula, surrounded on three sides by water near Inverness. I had returned my car at Inverness and met Natalie who showed me a bit of the Black Isle while photographing some portraits of her.

    The Black Isle is another wonderful place to explore Scottish nature and see the wildlife, dolphins, otter, deer, seals and osprey – they all enjoy it here.

    One of the region’s great draws is its pod of resident bottlenose dolphins. At Chanonry Point, in between Fortrose and Rosemarkie, they can often be seen frolicking in the Moray Firth. (VisitScotland)

    We actually went to Chanonry Point, enjoy the view towards the Moray Coast but no dolphins were seen.

    During our time on the Black Isle, we had one or two little rain showers and enjoyed the beautiful dramatic sky!

    Definitely another spot in Scotland I want to explore further another time!

  • Summer 2020

    2019 is (slowly) coming to an end and while I still in the middle of posting all the images from this summer in Scotland, I´m also already planning my next Scottish Summer Escape!

    In summer 2020 I will explore the Scottish isles starting in Shetland and then Orkney. A little stop on the mainland around Ullapool (and or Inverness?) and the then on to Lewis and Harris.

    From the Outer Hebrides, I will probably go to the Inner Hebrides and then we´ll see if there will be any time left or if I will have to go back to Vienna and the summer is going to be over.

    Even so, it´s still about 6 months to go I´m already pretty excited and am reading novels and thrillers set on the islands and am planning my tour from places to stay and places to visit and much more.
