Gateway to the Highlands I
The absolute majesty of Stirling Castle, set against the sweeping drama of The Trossachs — few landscapes speak more deeply of Scotland’s history and grandeur.
This was the first time I captured this scene but I’ve returned to many times over the years. The winter light is harsh on a very cold day.
Captured from a very specific vantage point in Bannockburn — around three miles from the castle and 20 miles from the distant mountains — I used a 500mm telephoto lens to compress the landscape, drawing near and far into a single, dramatic visual conversation.
Aside from subtle adjustments to light, shadow, and colour, the image remains untouched — an honest reflection of the moment, exactly as it unfolded.
