About Scotland

Scotland’s endearing and enduring character lies in its many moods and its spare simplicity: the faces of Loch Ness- windswept, dark, and dour one day, calm, glassy, and glistening the next.

The architectural economy in the lines of Edinburgh castle; the haunting power in one, long, lingering note from bagpipes; a lone crag in the highland moors where wiry shrubs lie low for fear that a gale will rip them from the rocks to which they cling. Visit Saint Andrew’s golf course, the birthplace of golf, and the stage on which the game was meant to be played: with glowering skies, brash breezes, and knee-high roughs that, every day, eat buckets of balls for breakfast. Enjoy the music, chatter, and firelight in a humble village pub; or a wave of warmth from a wee dram of whiskey.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Explore Scotland’s colors, values, and textures, and the interplay between light and dark and sun and clouds. You could capture the perfect composition anywhere: perhaps among the heather in the highland moors, on a cobblestone alley in Edinburgh, or reflected in the eye of a Shetland pony.
MULTI-GENERATIONAL

Traveling the world with your family is like sharing a box filled with presents. The box is the world itself and the presents are the bonds that form through the experiences we share, and the perspective, patience, understanding, and tolerance we gain from expanding our horizons and seeing how other people live. There is no greater gift.
