Sweeney's Bothy, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides; November 2018 Aaaaaaaand back to reality. A week full of exploration, self-reflection and photographing during my Artist Residency at Sweeney's Bothy. I enjoyed a brief insight into one of the world's most eco friendly islands and best of all, I consumed eggs from Eigg, on Eigg 🤙🏻 A week in the bothy offered many perks, including a warmer environment than my Edinburgh flat thanks to a gorgeous wood burning stove, and the opportunity to liberate myself by showering outdoors beneath the stars (although hard to concentrate on stars whilst I furiously scrubbed my icy cold body). Thanks to @bothyproject for this wonderful opportunity. You've given me the starting point for a new project. I'll be writing a blog post about my experience very shortly. @eiggbox #ArtistResidency #ArtistInResidence #SweeneysBothy #BothyProject #EggBox #IsleOfEigg #InnerHebrides #Scotland #ScottishIsland #EcoLiving #RenewableEnergy #VisitScotland #Scotspirit #FreedomInNature

Sheep lined up for shearing at Seathwaite Farm, Lake District; July 2018 After a rough night's sleep in a noisy campsite (it's a bad idea to give a yappy dog a tent with a window), a group of us hiked up Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain. There was a flurry of activity in the farm beside our campsite which offered a quick photo opportunity before we set off. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #ScafellPike #Hiking #SheepShearing #England
Foxglove spotting within The Black Valley, in a beautifully remote and magical part of Southern Ireland; June 2018 #TheBlackValley #Kerry #Killarney #SouthernIreland #RoadTrip #Foxglove #Ireland
In June 2018 I spent a week touring Southern Ireland and much of that time was spent over-coming the fear of not being attached to rope whilst ascending some pretty tricky boulders. It was on my last climb that I had to stop and sit for about 10 seconds as I was in absolute shock at what I'd just done; I was overcome by an intense adrenaline rush and a huge smile swept across my face. Meanwhile, Chris was slaying the dynos without much consideration of breaking any bones. #Bouldering #RockClimbing #SouthernIreland #FightingFear
Propagation series in Notes; Letters to Photography No. 4; April 2018 So chuffed to finally see my work in a printed publication, and it's so beautifully printed. Massive thanks to the team at Notes for asking me to be included in this year's journal. I have high hopes for the future of this project and it's finally time to get something new going. #Conservation #Propagation #Specimens #Species #ScottishTrees #Preservation #Regeneration #TreeSapling #Archiving #SeedBank #NotesJournal
Chris Bouldering at Screapadal, Isle of Raasay; May 2018 A late night drive up to Skye was rewarded by sunrise filling our van the following morning. And the rest of the weekend was just as beautiful. We reached a secluded bouldering spot about a 40 minute walk from where we left the van and spent the day exploring the rock faces within a truly jurassic landscape. #IsleOfSkye #IsleOfRaasay #Screapadal #Bouldering #RockClimbing #Scotland
Waiting for the Lek; April 2016, RSPB Corrimony Frosted windows and frozen toes during an early morning journey through the RSPB Corrimony Estate. We caught the sunrise as it peaked over the horizon and a stunning orange glow illuminated the hills beyond us. As we watched the landscape defrost, the stunning black grouse mating display, also known as a Lek, began in front of our van. We watched for at least an hour, until the female had chosen its appropriate mate. #BlackGrouseLek #Lek #ScottishWildlife #Corrimony #ScottishHighlands #Scotland #RSPB #TreesForLife
