Last week I was on Shetland for a week, nice work if you can get it! Working on guiding/safety for a film crew. Time to get some photography myself. Not allowed to say anymore!
First time in these beautiful Isles. Here's some photos to give a flavour.

Whilst I was away on Shetland Gavin was guiding for me in Torridon.
Jacqui & Rosie had two glorious days on Liathach and An Teallach. Well done to them, sorry I couldn't guide them myself. Big thanks to Gavin for guiding.

Meanwhile, back home in the Cairngorms and the heatwave continues. For over 4 weeks we've hardly seen any rain and it's been hot and sunny, too hot for some!
It was fabulous to see and photograph the beautiful Dotterel last Thursday.
