Despite being only short distance from Glasgow, this is a historic site I'd never visited before. It's just one of many such sites within a short distance of the city, making it the perfect base for exploring some of the less well-known events Scotland's history.

A quick trip out of Glasgow today to visit these steps cut into a red sandstone cliff at Peden's Cove in the Ayr Gorge near Failford in Ayrshire. The cove is named after Alexander Peden, a leading figures in the 17th Century Covenantors movement, who was said to preach from a vantage point at the top of these steps to his followers on the opposite bank of the river.

As it was a sunny bank holiday Monday, I did what generations of Glaswegians have done and headed 'doon the watter' to the Clyde Coast. Specifically I headed for Seamill Beach in West Kilbride where there's plenty of room for the dog to have a good run around, and the views out over the Clyde to Arran are pretty stunning.

Decided to spend the day getting blown away on the beach at Findhorn on the Moray Coast. The beach huts are fairly famous, and one or two are currently up for sale if you have a spare £30k. The beach itself is made up of large stones rather than sand, so the noise of the stones smashing on the shore is awesome on a fierce day like today.

Last night, the Aurora appeared over the north of Scotland. An almost full moon and plenty of cloud made photography conditions fairly difficult, but that’s part of the fun of Aurora photography. This shot looks north from the Black Isle towards the Cromarty Firth and Easter Ross.

Whilst I wander along Irvine Beach most mornings, I tend to stick to the sand and the water’s edge. Just above the beach, sits a guardian whom I finally visited - the stone dragon of Irvine Beach. This shot faces inwards away from the coast as the dragon looks out to sea.

Glasgow - Scotland

Local photowalk day 6. Some brutalism today. Glasgow has some incredible examples of this style of architecture, ugly? Sure, but in the right light and from the right angles it can be amazing.
