My wife and I recently returned from a two week trip to Scotland. We stayed with life long friends we made 50 years ago when I was stationed at a Naval Security Group Activity near the small town of Edzell. During our last trip, we traveled to the west of Scotland but this time we remained in the eastern part of the country where our friends live in the town of Letham, very near Forfar. I shot this image with a D7200 and 18-300mm lens as we drove through the hills near the town of Peebles in the Borders region south of Edinburgh. PP was limited to eliminating some of the shadowing of the heather in the hills. As you can see the weather was beautiful.

I was there for a photo workshop at the end of May & my husband and friends joined me after my trip. My husband had also been stationed in Edzell, 50+ yrs ago. (He was an O Brancher named Al Kress in case you might have known him.) So jealous you get to see the heather blooming. We did much of Great Britain and Ireland & I happily went back to Scotland with them. I want to take my son and daughter-in-law one of these days before I'm too old to do all the walking. (As much as 7 miles/day can be hard on the 70+ year old body.) Would love to see more of your photos. Regards, Lo Sitton

We were in the Peebles area several years ago. The countryside is beautiful, and your photo captures that beauty.

Lovely shot.
As many here in UHH know, I love photographing in Scotland, where I also have visited and stayed with dear friends many times since my first trip there in 1972.
Cheers and best to you.
