Far
from the high profile tourist spots, ignored crumbling walls
once housed Kings & Queens, smuggling, intrigue and treachery.
More than enough stimulus.

has a strong interest in historical Scotland, in addition to
his passion for wildlife. His pictures increasingly reflect
this interest and have resulted in increasingly more Scottish
landscape paintings. The focus presently is around the Tay River
but he is slowly venturing deeper into the Highlands in pursuit
of the more ellusive wildlife and those stunning views.
