Our guest Wendy Scott's photographs

She is lovely, so enthusiastic about everything. She has sent us some of her photographs taken in the West of Scotland. Here they are. Thanks Wendy for letting us use them. If you click on the title of this post (Our Guest Wendy...) you can see her Facebook page where more of them are posted.










I love them all, but my personal favourite is the last one, just above. The reason is that this shows the West Coast of Scotland at its finest. You come across this view all the time as you travel past on the little road. It is not a sunny day, it has no gaunt mountains, and it has wispy views you can see in the distance. It is, without doubt, the West coast of Scotland. Thank you Wendy. Please come back.

This blog is now open to photographs from our cottage guests

Whoever submits the loveliest photograph before the season ends will receive a free holiday break at the cottage. There will be up to 24 different weeks, off season, to choose from, and the holiday break will be transferable.

Is that fair? I don't know what criterion we will use for the selection but we will try and make it fair. I have a personal feeling for photographs that include people, but that's just me.

Send the pics to me via an email attachment, marked GLENCOE PHOTOGRAPHS in the subject line please. Send to: freecottageholiday@yahoo.co.uk

Jesper Berling's photograph. Click to his site.


Jesper is from Denmark, loves Glencoe and I particularly liked this shot for the unusual composition. Why does everything have to include intersecting thirds? Why can't you for once have the centre of atention smack in the middle and cut the picture in half as well? This is exactly how I see walks in the Glencoe mountains. I think it is a lovely shot.
