The Beach House, Isle of Skye

by Margaret Soraya | Mar 30, 2018 | Recommended, Scottish accommodation

I’ve lived in the Highlands of Scotland for 20 years and driven through the Isle of Skye on countless occasions to catch the Calmac ferry over to the Isle of Harris. Breathtaking scenery greets you as you drive the long road that cuts through the Cuillins on the...

Luxury stay at Glencoe House

by Margaret Soraya | Mar 1, 2018 | Recommended, Scottish accommodation

Once in a while I have a real holiday – one that actually involves relaxing as opposed to running around photographing everything! Inevitably these holidays are taken in the places that I love so much regardless  – quiet places in remote areas amidst...

The Isle of Raasay and a walk up Dun Caan {Scottish Island series}

by Margaret Soraya | Feb 18, 2018 | Recommended, Scottish accommodation, Scottish Islands

Raasay is my new favourite island. I seem to say this after each time I visit and stay on another Scottish island. But Scotland just keeps on giving.  Each island has its own charm and each time I stay I find a beauty and a charm that is unique to the place. I am...

Luxury accommodation on the Orkney Isles

by Margaret Soraya | Feb 13, 2018 | Recommended, Scottish accommodation, Scottish Islands

It’s the little touches that matter. And the Quoy of Houton is not short of them. I decided to spend a week of the Christmas  holidays on an island. It didn’t really matter which island. I just wanted to be somewhere remote and interesting. I’m not a fan of the...

Luxury accommodation on the Isle of Harris

by Margaret Soraya | Jan 14, 2018 | Recommended, Scottish accommodation, Scottish Islands

I recently found a new hidden gem on Harris and this one has brought me back to my childhood days. The Sound of Harris is one of the best luxury self catering homes I have stayed in. Every detail has a reason, it is like stepping back in time to the fifties but is so...

This one photo is many years in the making. What d This one photo is many years in the making. What do I mean by that - it surely only took a few seconds? Well, several years of honing my camera skills so I knew whats settings to use, 10 years of saving for a van so I could travel like I do, 4 underwater camera housings that I couldn’t get to grips with, years of getting used to being in the cold water and buying wetsuits that didn't fit, the 50 trips to the hebrides where it just rained and don't even get me started on the image disasters and fails. . It wasn't luck that brought me to Harris this sunny day. I had this vision over 20 years ago and I am now fulfilling it. my message is - don't get disheartened when things don't work immediately. Patience and persistence are rare qualities that will eventually get you where you want to be. . .  #lovethesea #oceantherapy #harristweed #hebrides #outerhebrides t #sealandscape #isleofharris #soundofwaves #westernisles #scottishislands  #lovetheouterhebrides #isleofharrisgin #calmacferries #seascapes_lovers #lewisandharris  #scottishlongexposures #visitouterhebrides #ycw2021 #fujifilmx_uk #gfx #fujigfx50s #repostmyfujifilm  #vanlifediaries #sprintervanlife #sprintervandiaries #ScotSpirit #sheclicksnet #fujixlovers #OutandAboutScotland    #WONphoto

Very grateful to be in Harris!. Isle of Harris lov Very grateful to be in Harris!. Isle of Harris loveliness and a bit on gratitude.
22 nights in July will be spent in my van. it has 22 nights in July will be spent in my van. it has become part of my lifestyle and a means to live like I do. I am pretty sure I couldn't have afforded 22 nights of accommodation in peak season in Scotland anyway! But more than that, it allows me to rest in between travels and carry what I need for my work. Check out my stories today as I show you around my van and how I manage. Living in a van does 2 things: 1/ It makes you realise how little you actually need in life. How simple can equal happiness. 2/ It connects you to gratitude and not for the reason you may think. When you get home and have a lovely hot shower and flip the switch on the kettle you are so incredubly excited at these simple things we just take for granted every day. I love taking away the basics for a while just for that buzz of gratitude. Thanks to @maureendupreez for the lovely image! . . .  #lovethesea #hebrides #outerhebrides t #sealandscape #isleofharris #westernisles #scottishislands  #calmacferries #womeninspiringwomen #womenphotographer #womenlandscapephotographers #womenoutdoors #shewentwild #sheadventures #outdoorcollective #microadventure  #vanlifediaries #sprintervanlife #sprintervandiaries
I am spending a few happy hours going through my i I am spending a few happy hours going through my images and getting them ready for gallery submissions and competition entries. I actually love this time even though I don't really like editing. Finishing images up to a high standard and ending up with a neat folder of images that I am proud of is an amazing feeling and actually very important. . In my Creative Haven membership, I am encouraging the members to enter the @naturallandscapeawards - for the process, not the result. I do not believe that we need to gain accolades or letters before our name to be happy and fulfilled in our work ...But if we begin to think of curating images for competition, social media, website portfolio, books etc as an amazing process of learning evolving, and understanding your work, it can be very powerful. Creation, not validation is the key. . . . #seascapes #ukcoast #ocean  #lovethesea  #oceanpower #oceanphotography #oceanpower #lovetheouterhebrides #isleofharrisgin #calmacferries #seascapes_lovers #lewisandharris  #scottishlongexposures #visitouterhebrides
It is the end of Season 1 for the podcast. And a f It is the end of Season 1 for the podcast. And a fitting way to end is with guest Paul Sanders @discover_still who several years ago asked to interview me for the @thetogcast We since have become friends and have run workshops together and it is always a joy to speak with Paul. This episode explores vulnerability, perfectionism, and mindful photography. I even almost went B& W with the insta feed image! Enjoy and I will be back with more guests in a month or so. . . . #photographypodcasts #podcastersofinstagram #mindfulphotography #perfectionsim #mindfulness #mindfulphotography
