Achnambeithach Cottage at the Foot of Aonach Dubh, is an iconic scene in Glencoe, in the Scottish Highlands. Glencoe is one of the most beautiful places that I have ever visited. It is just as eerie though, as it is the site of one of the dastardliest deeds in recorded history. On 27 Aug 1691 King William offered the Highland clans a pardon for their part in the Jacobite rising if they agreed to pledge allegiance to him before New Year’s Day. The oath had to be made before a magistrate. Highland Chiefs waited for word to come from exiled King James before they took the oath. Alasdair MacIain, the Chief of Glencoe, arrived at Fort William on 31 Dec 1691 to take the oath but was told that he would have to travel 70 miles to the sheriff at Inveraray. he finally took the oath on 6 Jan 1692. He was told that his allegiance would be accepted and that he and his people - the McDonalds of Glencoe - were safe. On 2 Feb 120 troops arrived at Glencoe under the command of Capt’ Robert Campbell of Glenlyon. For 10 days the troops were given food, drink and lodgings. 12 Feb Glenlyon rec’d orders from Major Duncanson: You are ordered to fall upon the McDonalds of Glencoe, put all to the sword under 70. Pay special care that the old Fox and his sons do not escape. The MacDonalds were victims of ‘murder under trust’, considered even worse than normal acts of murder under Scots law. The Massacre of Glencoe was an act of terror by the state against its own people. The MacDonalds were killed to scare the other Highland Clans into submission. The orders to kill the MacDonalds of Glencoe was signed by King William. On my visit, I was entranced by the beauty, and history of the place. I felt, as I walked among the heather, that I was treading on hallowed ground. The heavy overcast sky only added to the aura.

My photographic experience and knowledge has come from a journey of discovery over the years and the desire to learn something new that will not only satisfy the urge to learn but also embroider my creative spirit . I look for something different, unusual, unique and quirky that hopefully will catch the viewers attention. I am skilled in Landscape, Portrait, Street/Urban photography and Macro. I print and frame all my images to a standard that people are more than happy to have on their walls. Sharing my art really does give me a sense of pride. I have recently stepped into the watery world of waterdrop photography, an artform which is absolutely fascinating and always gives unpredictable results. No one photograph is ever going to be the same – ever! And it is this ‘uniqueness’ and ‘unpredictability’ that captures the imagination and releases the spirit of creativity.
