Well firstly let me wish all my fellow bloggers a healthy and Happy New Year. I trust you were all able to spend it with your family or at least have some contact with them. This is a pretty typical shot of Loch Leven with Eilean Munde the famous burial ground clearly visible just below the Pap (the conical hill) – eilean Munde is a small island in Loch Leven, close to Ballachulish. It is the site of a chapel built by St. Fintan Mundus (also known as Saint Fintan Munnu), who travelled here from Iona in the 7th Century. The church was burnt in 1495 and rebuilt in the 16th Century. The last service in the church was held in July, 1653.[1] The island is the site of a graveyard once used by the Stewarts of Ballachulish, the MacDonalds of Glencoe and the Camerons of Callart. The clans shared the island and the maintenance of the graveyard, even when there was conflict between them.[2] (courtesy of Wikipedia).
Probably wont post again until nearer the 20th of the month as Mandy and I are off to Norway for a cruise so high hopes to catch some stunning Norwegian scenery – tbh I am struggling to contain the excitement. Anyway have a lovely and I look forward to viewing you fabulous images throughout the year.

Happy New Year Scott and I’m glad to hear you’re coming to Norway – it’s a special place 🙂
I am glad we are coming to Norway Mjollnir cant wait – I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and peaceful New Year
Yeah we had a good time and hope you did too. Have you been to Norway before?
No first time – but I have conducted a lot of research and will continue to do so as I travel
Hurtigruten right? From Bergen I presume up to Kirkenes or Tromsø?
To Kirkenes 😎
All the way then.. I’ve been up as far as Bodø but Kirkenes is only a stone’s throw from Russia. Next stop Arkhangelsk or Murmansk! I’m pretty sure you will love it and if you meet a tall Hungarian bloke working on the ferry called Gabor say ‘hi’ from me 😀
A stunning image, Scott, with a fascinating history. Thank you for your good wishes. Sending blessings of peace and happiness for the coming year. And may your wildest dream come true. Have a wonderful cruise.
Thanks Isabella I do love the historical aspect of some of those location adds a little something – I trust you had a happy family Christmas and Good health for the coming Year.
Happy New Year, Scott, you’ve chosen a beautiful shot to celebrate it with. I hope you and Mandy have a wonderful time in Norway, I’m looking forward to your photos of the stunning scenery.
Happy New Year to you too – this was whilst shooting a house in Glencoe village so they got it in their brochure for the house. So I got paid for this one 🙂 I do love selling shots that I have taken when a property shoot its like getting paid twice – I am Scottish after all
Enjoy….we are off on a cruiser in the middle of the year to Iceland and Faros back via Norway. Enjoy the snows it should provide some great shots….and what a great start to the New Year. Safe journey and enjoy
Iceland was my first choice but lack of daylight at this time of year put us off – your trip sounds perfect David
