Isle of Skye and the Outer Hebrides stunningly featured by National Geographic Magazine
January 31st, 2010
If you love really beautiful landscape photos, and especially with the dramatic background of the amazing Scottish islands of Skye and the Outer Hebrides, then you have to have a look at the National Geographic’s January 2010 edition.
Have a look at National Georgraphic feature on Skye & Hebrides
The feature contains stunning images and information featuring these wonderful Western Isles of Scotland which include Lewis, Harris, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Barra.
The fascinating article, written by Lynne Warren, and with cracking photographs taken by Jim Richardson, focuses on the special geography of the region and charts its fascination with visitors in recent history.
These include the 18th century Samuel Johnson, German composer Felix Mendelssohn and his companion Karl Klingemann in the summer of 1829 and English painter J. M. W. Turner.
There’s also a photo gallery which will leave you ‘oohing’ and ahhing’ and make you want to go (or return).
I loved it!
