We will get up early for our first sunrise at the nearby Kilchurn Castle on Lake Awe. We will photograph the first lights of the day, with views of the castle reflected in the lake.

Once our session is over, we will approach another UK castle like the Stalker Castle. Surrounded by incredible nature in Loch Laich lake, it also served as the setting for another mythical movie of Monty Python. After that, we will have lunch in the area.

Halfway there, we will stop at another famous location in film history, such as the Glenfinnan Viaduct, known as the Hogwarts Express. We will arrive with enough time when the famous steam train runs through this viaduct, and we can photograph it in its path. So we will have time for choosing a good composition. Once we finish, we will have lunch and continue our road trip.

In the afternoon, we will have the opportunity to photograph the possibly most famous castle in the Highlands, Eilean Donan Castle. Located on an island on Alsh Lake and also famous for appearing in movies like Braveheart or The Immortals among others.

This activity requires a minimum level of fit skills. You do not need to have experience hiking, as there is a path. But if you have some health problems please write to us during the booking process. This day, we will have some snacks for lunch in this environment.

For sunset, we will go to the Valley of the Fairies or Fairy Glen. This area is perfect to photograph its small rounded hills and rocky ridges. Covered by green grass and some trees molded by the wind that offers us enormous photographic possibilities. This allows each visit to it to be different, but always equally fruitful.

At night, we will come back to our lodge in Portree to rest in our rooms.

Day 6 Isle of Skye: Neist Cliff viewpoint

After getting up early again, we will go to the Fairy Pools to photograph the sunrise. The natural spectacle of its waterfalls and natural pools, at the foot of the Cuillin mountains, is a perfect photography destination.

We will walk the trail calmly throughout the morning. This way, we will spend time enough to enjoy these impressive landscapes. This area has countless photo opportunities and compositions with its waterfalls and mountains.

After our Fairy Pools tour is complete, we head north to the Isle of Skye. We will arrive at what is the most famous location in the Scottish Highlands: the Neist Cliff Lookout. Like the previous day, we will have some snacks for lunch before arriving at its sea cliffs.

From the same viewpoint, we will have incredible views of the cliffs with the lighthouse at the bottom of the peninsula.

When should I visit to photograph the Highlands?

For casual travelers, the best time to visit the Scottish Highlands is during summer. Although the temperatures are not very high, as it’s located in the north, from June to August you will find the best weather. For photographers, the best season it’s during autumn. As you not will find crows of tourists and the landscapes are much more beautiful.

Why are there no trees in the Scotland landscapes?

Big deforestation happened hundreds of years ago. Nowadays, without human help, nature can’t repopulate itself. The ground isn’t good enough for it. In this area, the peat from the forests that once covered the land is still burning. The inhabitants cut down the forests of northern Scotland to create large areas of cattle.

What is the oldest castle in Scotland?

Dunvegan is the oldest castle all around Scotland. It was built in a lochside on the Isle of Skye, in the Scottish Highlands. Also, it has a mark as it is continuously inhabited for the last 800 years. The owners are the ancestral Clan MacLeod.

Does it snow in the Isle of Skye?

The weather in the Isle of Skye can be cold with wind and wet days, but usually, the temperatures are not so down to freeze. So snow in the Isle of Skye is very rare and snowing usually is only at the top of the hills.

Solo Traveller

Went on a tour of Scotland and it was one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever had. Eduardo was the perfect guide and he was completely accommodating and always looked out for everyone in the group. He was dedicated to getting us to the right locations and allowed plenty of time for us to get the shots we wanted. He even had some great suggestions on composition. Eduardo was not only a great guide but an overall great guy. It was like being on tour with a buddy. Not only did he drive everywhere but he provided the soundtrack in the car. In the end I wanted to continue my adventures with Eduardo but unfortunately reality called and I had to head back. I absolutely recommend Photo World Tours and look forward to one day meeting up with Eduardo and his team and continuing our photography adventures. Lots of great memories made with everyone. Thank you Photo World Tours and Eduardo for an incredible trip!

Eduardo was a terrific guide for our trip to Scotland. He put the utmost effort into assuring that each of us had a wonderful experience. During the whole 9 days his joyful passion for photography (and music) was always present. Overall, a great experience

My first photo tour this past fall was with Photo/World Tours. Under the careful planning of the tour by Eduardo, we were able shoot key sites across Scotland followed by four days on the Isle of Skye. Career and children slowed my learning of photography; however, with the assistance of Eduardo I brought home some amazing shots and learned much which I am carrying forward in even more learning. Thank you PhotoWorldTours and Eduardo.

The Scotland tour with Eduardo was everything I hoped it would be (well, one can always hope for a bit less rain). The trip itinerary took the group to some of the most iconic spots in Scotland (4 days on Skye!). One must be prepared for early, pre-dawn departures and long days in the field; for me that is just what I wanted. Also, after self-driving for a week in the Lake District of England, I was very glad to leave the driving to Eduardo.
