Southern Upland. Unknown Scotland in Panorama
The Southern Uplands is the least populated of Scotland’s three geographical regions. It remains largely unknown as most visitors head further north to the world renown Highlands and Islands.
The area is characterised by high rounded hills with steep sided valleys. Natural features such as rocky outcrops and spectacular cliffs are rare which can make the area difficult to photograph. My own preferred method shown in this series is to use the panoramic format illuminated by sublime mountain light.
