10 Amazing Views to Photograph
As a photographer, I continually research locations for photography. If you’re planning a trip to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs with your camera, I hope that you will find my list of 10 amazing views to photograph useful.
It was, of course, hard to narrow down to just 10, but the final ten are spread throughout the National Park and are well worth a visit. Many of the pictures are available for sale as framed photographs. I also offer photography training courses in Loch Lomond as well as a photo/guide book find out more at the See Loch Lomond Shop linked below.
