Scotland Photography Tours & workshops

Stunning highlands and islands

View my Scotland Photography Tours

I run regular Scotland photography tours and workshops in both the stunning landscapes of Glencoe and the Isle of Skye, two of Scotland’s most iconic and photogenic locations. The photography tours are designed for photographers of all skill levels, from beginners looking to learn the fundamentals to experienced photographers seeking to refine their techniques and capture the dramatic beauty of the Scottish Highlands.

Each Scotland photography tour focuses on exploring some of the most breathtaking viewpoints, hidden gems, and atmospheric scenes that these regions have to offer. From the rugged mountains and moody glens of Glencoe to the dramatic coastline, waterfalls, and otherworldly rock formations of the iconic Isle of Skye, participants have the opportunity to photograph a wide variety of landscapes in changing light and weather conditions.

Throughout my Scotland photography tours and workshops, I provide hands-on guidance covering composition, camera settings, use of filters, and techniques for capturing light, mood, and scale in landscape photography. I also share insights on planning shots, working with Scotland’s dynamic weather, and making the most of sunrise and sunset conditions. I aim to create a relaxed and supportive environment where participants can learn, improve their skills, and come away with both stronger photographs and a deeper appreciation for these remarkable locations.

I recently participated in Julian Elliot's "GLENCOE PHOTOGRAPHY TOUR" photography workshop and tour, which was an exceptional experience! He is incredibly knowledgeable and provides personalized guidance, making complex photography techniques easy to understand for all skill levels. The Glencoe of course is breathtaking offering stunning opportunities for landscape photography. Julian throughout the tour was hands-on and suggested new techniques and compositions depending on the weather & the environment. The atmosphere was supportive and very friendly, fostering a great sense of connection among participants too. The tour organization starting from driving to Glencoe Hotel from the Glasgow airport, editing sessions, and stops for meal planning all were flawless, allowing us to focus entirely on photography. Julian observed the weather apps very closely at the start of every day to give us the best of the light and avoid rain even if it meant him driving us to the Isle of Skye where weather conditions looked clear instead of staying in Glencoe which was originally part of the plan. He went out of his way to make sure we came back with beautiful photographs and the best of the memories! Overall, this workshop tour was fantastic for enhancing my photography skills capturing some of the best shots for my portfolio. Highly recommended!

Glencoe

Glencoe is the gem of the Scottish Highlands, offering a wealth of incredible landscapes to photograph, from tall mountain peaks to gushing rivers, rapids, waterfalls and lochs.
