The small person/big landscape perspective works especially well around the coast… and Scotland has plenty of coastline!

4. Go it alone

5. Make the most of the weather

You might’ve heard it’s not always sunny in Scotland but still lochs and low cloud make for some awesome reflection shots.

6. Frame it

With castles, cathedrals and stately homes, you’ll not struggle to find a frame for your shot.

7. Hit the road

Plan a road trip… and remember to make time to stop and take in the views!

8. Meet the locals

Highland cows can be found throughout Scotland and if you’re lucky, they might be inquisitive enough to say “hello”.

9. Get some height
