Longing for storms
We set off on a 1,500-mile Scottish road trip in search of storms, mist, and moody skies, instead, we found endless blue and blazing sun. From distillery drams in Stirling to almost Caribbean sands at Morar, our journey was full of surprises (and sunburns!). Join us as we share the unexpected magic of Scotland in bright, postcard-perfect weather, a trip that proved sometimes the best stories come from plans that don’t go quite as planned.
Capturing bold colours and graphic shapes on a crossing to Mull
