I'll present the following iconic locations; The famous Eilean Donan Castle, The Glenfinnan Viaduct known from Harry Potter and Kilchurn Castle. If you've never done landscape photography in Scotland you should for sure. We'll also visit a location I scouted out myself.

Love the Harry Potter shot and the beautiful lighting on the tree shot. Love the last one of the castle.
I really like the lone silver birch against the mountains with the dramatic light. So many beautiful contrasting colours.
Beautiful place and beautiful photos....
What a gorgeous shot's of Kilchurn Castle 🏰
Thanks a lot Gosia :)
Stunning images a pleasure to watch 👍
Thank you very much Mark! :)
Watching the Photographing Britain series, absolutely outstanding, and your images! Well truly stunning.
Really loving your work!
These videos are brilliant !!!
Thanks a lot Carl! :)
Another great video Mads! Looking forward to the next one already! Cheers
Thanks a lot Francis! :)
Another magic segment. Last drone still is great and different. Keep them going.
Thanks a lot Tom! :)
Wonderful video ! Love the scenery, your photography and your passion !
Again some great photos, l loved the picture of the Silver Birch. Keep up the good work.
Another great video Mads.
Thank you very much Edward :)
beautiful pictures ...I really like the one where you stopped and took the picture of the tree in the light and the hills in the background..
Great video as always and beautiful photos! The photo of the tree with the mountain in the background was out of this world!
Thank you so much Christian! Yeah I really love that shot myself too! :)
Really enjoyed your work. The Bridge of Orchy birch trees looked magical. As a Scot, I have been to all these locations but they never looked as good as your images. Thank you.
Well done Mads. I find your videos inspirational.
thanks for doing my country justice! Your photographs are of the highest quality of any photographer/bloggers that I follow on youtube, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much Russell! That means a lot! There're some pretty good photographers out there :)
Master touch yet again, loved all your images but the drone image and the use of the white border complimenting the vertical walls of the castle, very nice
Thank you so much Garry! I'm happy you like the white boarder - I really like that too myself :)
We explained beautiful location
Thank you :)
Thank you Mads for sharing this video and all your knowledge !!!!! I'm looking forward to see your next video !
You're so welcome Mario :)
Love your photos and videos. So glad I've found your channel. Very informative.
Thanks a lot :) Welcome aboard :)
Such good photography, yet again! Scotland is a fantastic place to visit, which you have shown in this video. Nice work!
Thanks a lot Mark! Yes indeed it is! :)
I'm late to the party, but am loving your whole Britain series.
Wow so amazing. Finally I go next year for the first time to schotland
Another great inspirational video Mads. You are so right about having to take what you get weather wise on once only visits.
Thank you so much :) Yeah it's often take it or leave it :P
Great as always, I was lucky enough to have visited Scotland and all of theses locations earlier this year, sadly my pics weren’t good, but you’ve given me reason to try again next year!
Thank you very much Gary, you have to go back for sure! :)
Great video and some really nice pictures Mads - bliv endelig ved med at inspirere os andre...
Mange tak Simon! :)
Another superb video, Mads. Especially liked the second zoomed in image of Ellean Donan Castle and the steam train traversing the viaduct. Always look forward to your new videos.
Thank you so much Tony! Happy you like the photos :)
Mads that image over the water of Kilchurn Castle was lovely and dramatic. Looking forward to your visit to Skye.
Thank you so much Christopher! Yeah turned out pretty good :)
Fantastic inspirational video again Mads
Thank you very much Manuel :)
Living the Dream! Great video! keep up the Great Work!
Thank you so much Biff! Oh well... a little travel here and now is always good ;)
All great shots I love the train shot.
Thank you Bill! :)
Excellent. Liked the drone work...
Thank you so much Mike :)
Great video Mads, keep them coming. I really liked the image of the silver birch trees, well done mate.
Thanks a lot Darren! Yeah I really loved that shot too :)
Another great video, thanks Mads.
Beautiful shots 😍
Great vid of my homeland. Sometimes it takes a visitor to give renewed respect for a familiar place as you see it afresh through their eyes. Great videos. You have a new subscriber.
Another great vlog, thanks for taking the time. 👍🏻
You're welcome Medwyn! :)
Seeing the environmental condition I think you really have the right view on the perspective and sufficient patience to captrue the best moment. Thank you
Thanks a lot Axel! :)
Good work my friend.
Thanks a lot! :)
Another beautiful video Mads. A good introduction to popular well connected locations. Weather is everything here, so be responsive to it if you are staying and not passing through. Note that the Jacobite stream train is operated by west coast railways and is primarily a summer attraction. The Christmas trains will be great to shoot if there is snow too...
Oh I can imagine it would look amazing with snow all around the train :)
Thanks a lot :)
great work Mads lovely series
Thank you so much Peter :)
Having lived in Scotland it never fails to impress and your images help to do just that, showing off its beauty.....
Thank you very much Mark! Means a lot coming from someone who lived there :)
Again you managed to bring us a great mix of two important items; the magic of photography and the mystic of the Scots ... with a third important element ... the music. Thank you so much for this 😊
Thanks a lot! Happy you see it that way! Be sure to check out the musicians I use - links in the description :)
Great video, as always. Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you Richard - next one will be awesome!
Very enjoyable and helpful film again Mads. We'll be up there in a couple of weeks and Kilchurn Castle was on our "must visit" list too. The advance information about the different spots to shoot it from is really useful.
Thanks a lot Dom, very happy to hear that. I hope you'll have a great trip! :)
I watch a lot of landscape photography videos on UA-cam but yours just stand out! The location information that you add is simply invaluable for people like me who haven't had an opportunity to visit stunning locations like this yet. Fantastic.
Thank you so much Mark! I think that is such important information! If you wish to inspire people, then obviously you should tell them where to go ;)
I just don't understand why anyone gives these videos a thumbs-down. The videos are wonderful. Very professionally done and the photos are amazing. And I really appreciate the instructions on getting to places and when to be there. Other UA-camrs don't usually do that and it is very helpful. I'm considering a UK trip and your videos are great for planning purposes. Thanks Mads!
Philip Culbertson thank you so much! Honestly I don't know either. It's probably people who think "popular" photography is the work of the devil :p
Great example of breaking some "RULES" of photography. Placing the castle and horizon in the center of the photograph, along with the movement of the clouds, brings a very nice dynamic to the shot. Well done...
Thank you very much Frank! :)
"ikke så ringe endda" Another fantastic video.
Thank you very much :)
Another good job. The whole Britain series has been wonderful.
Thank you so much William! :)
Another great video Mads. 👍
Thank you so much David! :)
Awesome video Mads! Love the images. Dang, I gotta get to Scotland!
Thank you so much Tony! Indeed you must! :)
I admire you ability to make lemonade from almost anything. Keep it up.
Thank you very much John! :)
Beautifully produced video and great pictures too.....
Thanks a lot Alan! :)
Thanks Mads Peter!!
You're welcome :)
I really dig your methodical, patient approach to photography. Scotland, with it's subtly beautiful scenery and ever changing conditions, definitely rewards those who can chill and wait for the good stuff. Good effort mate!
Thank you very much Robert! I kinda feel I can do it way better with giving time to the different locations, but there's just never enough time ;)
I live in Scotland, just south of Glasgow, and have just bought a Nikon D750 with a 20mm lens. I've visited what you have shown and plan to wear my 20mm lens out (I have other focal lengths). Your photograph of Kilchurn Castle (14:42) is mindblowing.
Thank you so much for your brilliant videos of Scotland. I am off there in March and hoping to capture some wonderful views to photograph.
I'm very happy to hear that Janette. I hope you'll have an amazing journey :)
a great video as always... I´m looking forward to your Glencoe video!
Thanks a lot Thomas! Working on it right now :)
The drone photo of the caste was my favorite one
Thanks Christian, it does give another perspective to the world! :)
I wish these videos were longer,I'm really loving watching them,they are very professionally put together and the photography is fantastic.
Thank you very much richard! It is very much appreciated :)
Thank you...
Another great video mate!
Thank you Ryan :)
Spot on Mads, probably the best pictures of Kilchurn Castle I've seen to date. I understand your logic behind reserving a full video to Glancoe and Skye. Can't wait for them to be published. Tip top 📸👌👌👌
Thanks a lot Jonathan! That says A LOT! I've seen amazing photos from Kilchurn :)
Your videos are the best!
Very good eilean donan shot. Its wierd how such a small shift in the perspective can shake off a lot for the cliches surrounding the typical composition
Revisiting your videos from Glencoe. I watched them before I went on my first photo trip to Glencoe last year, and it's so amazing to see them again 😁
Every vlog you release sets the bar higher. Fantastic video production and amazing photographs. Pure quality!
Thanks you so much Rob! Means a lot - I just want to make something I want to watch myself :)
Lovely video and I do admire your ability to make great images from poor light. I also like the fact that you give advice on the best focal lengths for a given location. Subscribed now.
Trevor Hughes thanks a lot and welcome. I hope you'll enjoy the other videos :)
Fab vlog again Mads - the Glenfinnan shot and the overhead drone image of Kilchurn are awesome - kudos again!
Thank you very much Peter! :)
Awesome
Stunning images and excellent video production!
Thank you so much Gavin! :)
Glad you liked Scotland, Mads. It is a beautiful country, as is Denmark! Subscribed after seeing this and your video of the boats at Slettestrand. I am from the eastern side of Scotland, but thanks for visiting, haste ye back!! :-)
Fantastic Photography and Explanations of Your Trip
Thanks a lot Allan! :)
Brilliant video of my homeland. I thought your overhead image of Kilchurn Castle was very interesting and I've not seen it shot like that before. I think it worked very well. I grew up only a few miles from that castle so it was great seeing a bit of home. Can't wait to see what you make of Glencoe!
Thanks a lot Julian! :) Glen Coe will be awesome!

Watching your videos gets me motivated to do more landscape photography. Seeing your process, and the final result, is a real treat. Thank you, Mads! Keep making this content!
Mads, I'm a danger when it comes to photography but any time I see your videos it makes my day. Cheers!
We love your work and videos Mads - Photography is such a special experience !
It is indeed and thank you very much!
Amazing again Mads. I just can't get enough of your videos. Looking forward to your Iceland videos with Nigel too
Thanks a lot! They'll be great! :)
Fantastic Mads, that's the first time I've seen Kilchurn Castle with the footpath leading in. Hope the midgies weren't too bad for you, they can be a right pain.
Fantastic video I have yet still to visit Kilchurn castle. Still to photograph on my next visit to Scotland.
Thank you so much Jim! I bet you'll get better weather conditions than I did :)
Would not be too sure on that Mads. Its Scotland with only 2 seasons May and Winter.
Great video Mads, loved the shot of the silver birch
Thanks a lot John, yeah I really like that one too!
Fantastic video!
It was very interesting to watch the time lapse - a wonderful demonstration of how the light shifts and how you jump into the slot with the right light. The fast moving light can be very frustrating! A beautiful image of the silver birch too. My favourite in this video is the last one - 15:20 - moody, eerie, very Bronte-like.
Thank you very much Loreta! I'm happy you liked that photo. I find it very special and unique too :)
Brilliant! This is the first series of yours that I have watched and it certainly won't be the last. Thank you for your inspiring art.
Thank you so much Steve :) My Faroes series is very popular too, but I did change the format a wee bit for this series :)
excellent video again Mads...the sliver birch shot is beautiful and the kilchurn castle ones are very moody....also love the drone shot from above kilchurn ....look forward to the next video
Thanks a lot Tam! The next already out :)
I "popped my Scotland landscape photography cherry" back in February. My first trip outside of Wales. I only had four days, so tried to fit in as much as I could - Glencoe, Glenfinnan, Loch Ness, Skye, and the Commando Monument. It was all a bit rushed so while I got some pics I was quite happy with, I couldn't afford to wait around for the best light. I'll definitely be heading back there as soon as I can.
There's never enough time! I'll also go back at some point! :)
Great video as always. Beautiful images and you have really captured the beauty and splendor of Scotland. Thank you for sharing.
You're very welcome John and thanks a lot :)
The eastern viewpoint is my favorite of the Kilchurn Castle photos. Great video, as always.
Thank you very much Theresa :)
Great video again Mads, I try and visit Scotland every year, stunning place with great access for everyone..
Great images and the image with the fuzzy reflections looks amazing.. Well done looking forward to Glencoe next week...
Thank you so much! Happy you like that shot :)
Lovely pictures and one of the best landscape photography videos you have here. Not many explain details on the location, time to shoot, lens to use, etc. I am going to these locations end of March next year and this video and your Glencoe one will help me a lot. Thank you.
You're very welcome Krishna! And I'm very happy you enjoy the format :)
Yet another strong episode. Interesting and compelling! Really looking forward to Glencoe :)
Thank you very much Hans! Glen Coe is gonna rock! :)
Very well put together and all great locations to visit. Look forward to your Glencoe trip.
Waiting on your next blog Ray. 👍🏻
Thanks Stephen. Been out twice and both times made a right pigs ear of it so haven't put anything up in a while. Been out to Kilchurn castle last weekend as well but memory card wasn't saving although all seemed well. Hope to try and get something up soon. You can follow my trips on my facebook under Renegade Scot ;) Keep an eye out for Paul Johnsons next film.
Keep at it Ray as I think your blogs are brilliant, not just the photography videos, the wild camping blogs are just as good. I follow Paul and I also think his vids are great. He's a very positive fella.
Thank you so much Ray :) It'll be awesome! Watching your vlog from there right now :)
Wow, you really captured some beautiful images from a beautiful country! Well done. Your vlogs are very enjoyable and informative. Looking forward to more. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much Zalman :)
I was so surprised when the video ended, I was like.. WHERE IS GLENCOE AND THE ISLE OF SKYE (Even though there are even more places you need to go to!). Then you mentioned they were getting their own videos. Thanks, Mads, I hope you enjoyed Scotland and will come back again!
I'll definitely come back! And Of cause both areas get their own videos ;)
Wonderful video, Mads, many thanks. Scotland is indeed a beautiful place for landscape photography and in this video you captured some really lovely images. I'm a new subscriber and look forward to your future videos.
Robert Blesse thanks a lot! And welcome aboard. I hope you'll enjoy the videos :) How did you find my channel?
I watch a lot of landscape photography videos on Scotland and yours popped up as a suggested channel. I'm just getting ready to watch your Lake District video; I'll be there for a workshop in early February-beautiful place. Thanks again!
Fantastic! Thanks a lot for the answer - good to know suggested works ;)
Great work, stunning locations. I really appreciate the time you take to explain locations and best photography spots
Since this video is 5 years old, I hope that things at the viaduct changed a lot, because I read somewhere else that a) the train passes the bridge quite slowly and b) it may even stop in the middle of the bridge to let passengers take photos themselves. If this is the case, one could even have time to take different compositions. We'll see the next 2 weeks.
