Highland Games of Scotland

As I’ve mentioned, I don’t just take pictures of wildlife and travel – I also enjoy sport photography and, as I live in Scotland, that includes the Highland Games and all the events involved… so that’s what this page is.

Here’s a slideshow with some of my favourites; scroll down to see more.
