Wanderings with my camera - Dougie Mathieson's photography

Wanderings with my camera - Dougie Mathieson's photography An archive of images taken mainly in and around Edinburgh & the Lothians These images are primarily a visual diary of my local wanderings from 2009 to 2017.

We are fortunate here in Edinburgh to be blessed with such a variety of landscapes, from historic castles and man-made structures to the lochs, hills, and woodlands within easy reach of the city centre. The photographs were taken mainly with a basic point-and-shoot camera for ease of transportation, plus occasional forays with my DSLR (Panasonic Lumix G10). Post-processing is done with the free im

age editing software PhotoFiltre. All images are available for re-use under the Creative Commons agreement - acknowledgement appreciated :)

As those who follow this page (are there any still out there?) may have noticed, there has been little activity on here over the past five years or so. Of course, COVID was immensely disruptive in 2020, and, in addition to this, my deteriorating health means that I now require walking aids, from a stick to a mobility scooter. My long wanderings are now in the past, and this page is basically an archive from those days when I was free to roam. I shall leave it here - enjoy the freedom to wander while we still can!

Quite a lot of cloud around today, but the views over the city from the Radical Road, which runs under Salisbury Crags, more than make up for it!
