Scottish Highlands, Isle of Skye, & Outer Hebrides

If a picture truly paints a thousand words, the landscapes of the Scottish Highlands and islands would fill all 4,224 pages of Harry Potter (much of which was filmed here). Blessed with the most sensational landscapes in Britain, Scotland’s rugged northern Highlands lend themselves to phenomenal landscape photography. Our itinerary spans the full range. Enchanting waterfalls… Huge soaring sea stacks… Surging peninsulas… Improbably white-sand beaches… Wind-ruffled lochans, and moors carpeted in thistles and heather… And hauntingly beautiful glacier-scoured mountains. Nor will we forgo the human component that defines this magnificent region… from weathered fishermen and the shepherds herding their flocks with sheepdogs, to the crofters of Harris & Lewis. You’ll get to photograph with acclaimed National Geographic photographer, author, and expedition leader Christopher P. Baker, the Lowell Thomas Award 2008 ‘Travel Journalist of the Year.’ In addition to editing and photographing the National Geographic Traveler Scotland guidebook, Christopher’s images and self-illustrated articles about Scotland and other destinations worldwide have appeared in hundreds of magazines, from BBC, CNN, and Newsweek to National Geographic, National Wildlife, and Penthouse; as well as scores of calendars, brochures, coffee-table books and travel guidebooks.
