Bio-contact

A some time student of the Gaelic language, Iain has been walking in and photographing the Scottish Highlands for most of his life, and completed the round of the 3000 foot Highland summits (The Munro's) in 1994. During two decades of service in the Royal Air Force Regiment, photography was no more than an adjunct to Iain's love of the hills, but on leaving the service, and with more time to appreciate what everybody else was missing, Iain decided to see what he could do to change that. He now lives in Lossiemouth, Scotland, close to the shores of the Moray Firth.

"To be in the Highlands, where all four seasons can flash by in moments and the fearsome Highland midge turn the bravest man in to a wildly arm flailing refugee, is for me akin to a religion, where on every point of the compass stand my "cathedrals".

The Highlands, the Gaeldom of the site title, there history and heritage are my passion, therefore, in my photography I strive to purvey the essence of what it is to be at one with this land and to capture the symbiotic flux of light and apparently changing form that is, in my perhaps biased opinion, unique."
