30 Apr 2025

In this day of impressively spec’d cameras and smartphones, it’s hugely refreshing to go old school and use an older camera that delivers beautiful, pleasing images you just can’t get with the latest tech. In this article I take the G10 to Edinburgh’s Old Town and Princes Street gardens to see what I can capture on this old compact.

Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh - Mindful Moment Film

David Wheater

One of my favourite historic sites to visit in Edinburgh is the beautiful & atmospheric Greyfriar’s Kirkyard in Edinburgh. The Kirk opened its doors in 1620 and recently celebrated its 400th anniversary in 2020. Greyfriars Kirkyard is one of Edinburgh's most fascinating and atmospheric burial grounds. Aside from the incredible history (and stories, which abound about this beautiful graveyard) it's also a peaceful, green space in the heart of the city, that's full of wildlife.

The Remote Mountains & Lochs of Assynt & Coigach in The Scottish Highlands - a True Scottish Wilderness

26 Jan 2025

David Wheater

Two of my favourite parts of Scotland are Assynt in Sutherland and neighbouring Coigach in Ross & Cromarty, in the north west Scottish Highlands. Remote, rugged and wild, these beautiful areas are often neglected by visitors, which is a pity, as they are full of beautiful lochs, mountains and wildlife that will take your breath away!

Before the season gets into full swing, I always like to walk through my tours, to see what’s new, and take a few pictures. These are a few of the snaps I took, which I hope you’ll enjoy seeing. They’re of memorials, historic buildings and monuments around the city which I love photographing. Some are in plain sight and others are more hidden.
