The Fairy Glen, Isle of Skye, Scotland, Custom, Private Photography Tour

The Fairy Glen, Isle of Skye, Scotland

 

I had a fabulous time last week, doing a private, custom, photography tour of the Isle of Skye. This was shot in The Fairy Glen, near Uig on the Isle of Skye. This feature is sometimes referred to as “Castle Ewan”, but it never was a castle.

Skelbo Castle

This ruined 14th century castle keep is Skelbo Castle and is located on the high shore of Loch Fleet in the Scottish Highlands.

Robert the Bruce captured an earlier castle at the site belonging to the Sutherlands in 1308. In 1529 the castle was bought by William Sutherland of Duffus. The whole site was abandoned as a residence in the 20th century. We visited this location on a recent private photography tour of Scotland.

We have been busy. This was shot at sunrise on one of our Scottish Photography Experience, custom private tours.

I used an ND 100 filter and a 30 second exposure for this photograph and I am very happy with the result.

The magnificent and mysterious Rosslyn Chapel. We visit this incredible site on our “4 Abbeys + A Chapel Photography Tour”. Construction on the Chapel began in 1456 by William Sinclair, the first Earl of Caithness. His original plan was for a cathedral sized structure, but he died and it was never completed.

Queen Mary’s Bath House

Queen Mary's Bath House, Edinburgh Photo Walk, Mary Queen of Scots, Moss on slate

This is Queen Mary’s Bath House (in Edinburgh), and has been dated by archaeologists to the year 1565. Despite the name, there is there is no evidence to support the notion that it was ever used as a “Bath House”. The idea of Mary, Queen of Scots, bathing surfaces as early as 1776 in John Pinkertons’s ‘Elegy on Craigmiller Castle:
“That chamber where the queen, whose charms divine
Made wond’ring nations own the power of love,
Oft bathed her snowy limbs in sparkling wine,
Now proves a lonely refuge for the dove.”

 

We always photograph this quirky little, two storey, building on our Edinburgh Photography Tour. Indeed, there are some suggestions that this structure may be the oldest surviving pavilion in the world. Such are the mysteries of Scottish History!
