They call it Bonnie Scotland for a reason. Whether it’s castles, glens, cityscapes or beaches, the country has splendid views almost everywhere you turn. This Sunday, we’ll reveal our 20 most Instagrammable views for 2022. To kick it off we asked our picture editor Craig Alexander, who decides what photos go in The Herald, for his favourite vista and why.
Dun na Cuaiche Watchtower in Inveraray looking west up Loch Fyne.
This is a magical view. It takes in vistas up Loch Fyne and is an ever changing view depending on the season or the time of day. On a clear autumn day the loch can look like a large mirror with Inveraray’s impressive Georgian façade glinting and nature's beautiful colours reflecting in the still water. Even on a normal west of Scotland day (cloudy and overcast) it can change minute by minute. Beautiful cloud formations and shafts of sunlight come down from the heavens above almost like it’s a religious painting. A view well worth the effort and never the same twice.
See the full list on Sunday, and send your favourite views to picoftheday@theherald.co.uk
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
