Journey with me, through these photos, to some of my favourite places in Scotland
The larger images were shot in Summer 2005, using a Pentax Optio SV digital camera.
The older, smaller images were originated on 35mm film
with a Minolta AF-Z camera and scanned to CD-ROM.
They have all been slightly reduced in quality from the originals,
in order to facilitate speedier downloads, but have not been enhanced.
