Autumn In The Glen

The autumn is an excellent time of year to capture the Highland glens in all their glory. With the sun still putting in an appearance but giving much lower angles of light, and some amazing colours in the grasses, bracken and leaves, it’s definitely time to get the camera out.

The gallery below features a selection of photos send in by our readers during the autumn of 2013.

Our favourite was sent in by Norrie Morrison, who wins a very nice Benromach branded hold-all for his photo of Buachaille Etive Mor from the Devil’s Staircase.
