Harry Hotspur (2026_0808)

Actual name Henry Percy. Born in Alnwick Castle in 1364 his nickname was given due to his speed and eagerness to advance into battle. His family remain the owners of Alnwick Castle today - 700 years of ownership!!

September 1st - as we move in to autumn the landscape will start to change colours to browns and reds.

The 2026 Images by Raymond Dormer calendar will flip to show a well known stop off on the NC500 - the Kylesku Bridge in Sutherland. A curved box girder bridge officially opened in 1984 by the late H.R.H. Queen Elizabeth.

The 2026 Dunblane calendar will show Dunblane Cathedral with a magnificent sunset backdrop. This was also the cover for the Dunblane 2020 book I had printed which told how some individuals and business managed during the 1st lockdown. Copies of the book have sold out a couple of times but I still have a limited number available to purchase.

Thanks for the continued support and encouragement.

Printing. Love it. It’s not just an image on screen. It’s alive in your hand. Vibrant colours and crisp memories like it was just yesterday. Tangible proof that it wasn’t a dream. This is Permajet Oyster 271 paper. My go to paper. PermaJet

I currently have no internet in my house so will not be able to post new images for a few days.
Thanks for your patience. Maybe you’ll appreciate the break!! 😂

I have had confirmation an image of mine submitted to the Glasgow Gallery of Photography has been accepted for the “Landscape” exhibition to run during November.

Thanks for the continued support and encouragement.

West Street. Berwick-upon-Tweed (2026_0805)
A Road Often Travelled (2026_0805)

A beautiful cobbled street reminding us of days gone by in Berwick-upon-Tweed. We ended up here as a plan B the day we went to Lindisfarne but the car park was full. We had a great lunch in the Leaping Salmon to tide us over. Lots of quaint little shops down here. I wonder what they were back in the olden days?

2027 Dunblane Calendars are available at Tilly's or from me. Pop in for refreshments and pick up a calendar.

Bamburgh Castle Views.

A few images from the collection. A stunning area with golden beaches reaching almost as far as the eye can see. Any potential invaders may have thought twice when they approached the shore and spotted this fortress high on the rock.

Sunset At Bamburgh Lighthouse (2026_0804)

Just north along the coast from Bamburgh Castle is a little lighthouse. It was built in 1910 by Trinity House to guide shipping along the Northumberland coast. The building housing the lighthouse was an acetylene store which powered the original tower - the footprint can be seen on the concrete next to this building.
