 breathtaking scotland! April 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
since our trip to scotland, i have bought book after book of photographs of scotland, trying to find one that captures what we saw. this one does. when we first drove into the highlands, the beauty brought me to tears. you turn round and round and take pictures that can't possibly capture what you are seeing. well, colin prior has captured scotland in this book, and i am so grateful to him!

The first time I saw one of Colin Prior's books - Highland Wilderness - in a hotel in Callander, I was hooked. It is a wonderful collection of photographs of Scotland - a place where I long to live - and never fails to lift my spirits when I'm stuck in Manchester feeling a bit low. I am not a photographer but I can really appreciate this wonderful book and the breathtaking photos. Everyone who loves Scotland will love this book, especially if you don't have the privilege of living there.

This book contains the best views of Scotland I have ever seen. Others have tried and failed to recreate the stunning panoramas that have become the trademark of Colin Prior. Criticism has been levelled at the colour saturation. I say not. If you've been and seen then you know that it really does look like that. Open up and see the Scotland's unspoilt beauty and maybe catch a glimpse of God.

As an ex Tourist Information Centre Assistant and Scotsman, I can honestly say that Colin Proir's books are the best photography books on Scotland's stunning views. This is how Scotland looks. I was never allowed to make reccommendations when I worked in the TIC, but I can now: I thoroughly recommend this book. Buy the book, then visit the places. You will not be dissappointed.

I love this book. There is no other way to describe my feelings for it, it draws you in with its stunning vista`s. I wish i could spend more time in the Highlands of Scotland just standing, waiting for the perfect shot to unfold, but living in the Midlands makes that a bit difficult.
This book more than makes up for it, the quality and composition of the photographs are second to none, you can feel the breeze on your face, smell the clean cutting Highland air, it totally imerses you. You can see why the Highlands captivate many a poet and artist, with the rich colours and the softness of the light there is nowhere like it on earth. Colin has captured this perfectly with this book, larger copies of some these photographs now adorn my walls and everyone who comes round comments on them. They stir emotions.
As i said earlier, stunning, simply stunning.
