My gallery serves as a guide, of sorts, to places to visit in and around the Highlands of Scotland - some pic's snappy, others more thought-out, some local firm favourites, especially around Reelig Glen, near Inverness, where our holiday lets are based, and some further afield, with some hidden gems! A few dog shots will appear too, from time to time!

Ambition 2018 is to get out and snap more!

In the meantime, I run a holiday rental business - Moniack Lodges - two, cosy waterside self-catering lodges with woodland gardens just a few fields away from our home.

I'm a lover of food (especially cheese...wine too), travel, long walks in the countryside - through forests and across moorland - and never happier than when outdoors and with my family.

I love a wee trail run with our dogs, a German shorthaired pointer named Olive and a wirehaired pointer pup named Truda, and paddle in my canoe on our local lochs whenever I get the chance.

I like to travel light and often like to stay in 'off-the-beaten-track' locations - both me and hubby are keen photographers (me...a snapper really) and really enjoy tasting local foods; we love cooking, so try to snaffle the odd recipe along the way.
