In The Driving Seat

One reader’s morning of wildlife photography using his car as a hide on a single-track road in the Scottish Highlands

In The Driving Seat

My family helped to pay for a photography holiday as a birthday present. So I booked a hotel in Grantown-on Spey and spent most of the week exploring the mountains, forests and lochs of the Cairngorms.

On the final day I thought I’d try heading north to the Moray Firth. Lochindorb is a remote loch about five miles north of Grantown-on-Spey, with a minor road running along the southern shore.

It looked like a great place to visit on my way north. As such, I set off with my camera and a beanbag ready on the passenger seat.
