A roadtrip through Scotland's most dramatic terrain. The open road stretching into the Highlands through a rearview mirror; the candy-coloured harbour fronts of Portree on Skye; vast treeless moorland under improbably blue skies; sheep grazing on the ridge. Glencoe's brooding peaks rendered in both colour and stark black and white. This is Scotland on a rare clear day, wide, ancient, and completely indifferent to how far you've come to see it.
