Being the summer holidays, we headed up to Scotland this week to visit the Scottish family. While there we spent a day out in Callander, near Stirling. It’s a place I’ve driven through a number of times, but never stopped off in.
We went for a good walk around and the kids ate ice creams that were, needless to say, about as large as their heads. We took a path that was slightly off the beaten track and found ourselves presented with this scene.
That’s the River Teith making its way through the town. The wooded hills in the background are, I believe, the Trossachs.
The camera settings were as follows; apperture f8, ISO 200, shutter speed 1/640sec and focal length 50mm. The only editing I’ve done is to auto-adjust the exposure as the shot was a tiny bit on the dark side.
I’ve returned from Scotland with a memory card bursting full of images. I may share a few more over the weeks to come. There’s one in particular I may have great fun publishing!

What a lovely view. Sounds like you had a good week and look forward to seeing more of your photos.
Thanks Sarah, yes I’ll share a few more in the weeks to come.
Very calming and a gentle river x
Yes, it was serene. You could actually wlak across that river, wasn’t deep at all.
Lovely view, hope you had a good trip. Hubby and I are off on a UK tour in September
We’ve had a great trip. Enjoy your tour in September!
Beautiful part of the world.
It is very beautiful indeed.
So picturesque.xx
Oh it certainly is. I’ve fired off so many images, my memory card is a mess!
Lovely photo, looks like my kind of place.
If you’re ever in the area, I recommend stopping by.
What a fantastic view! It looks so peaceful there x
For a busy tourist town, it was quite peaceful. I recommend it if you’re ever in the area.
That’s really pretty. When we went to Edinburgh lots and lots of people recommended Stirling and told us how beautiful it was. It really does sound it!
If you are ever back in the area, you know where to head. thanks for commenting.
What a beautiful photo and setting…so quiet and serene!
It was a lovely spot away from the hustle and bustle of the busier main road.
Stunning view, it looks like such an inviting place to visit
Thank you for linking up
It is Darren, a lovely spot. There was also a barber shop on the High St offering manscaping services…should you be in to that kind of thing?
Sounds wonderful John, look forward to seeing more! x
Plenty more where that image came from Vicki, watch this space!
It just looks so peaceful; I think Scotland is beautiful and I haven’t explored the country enough. Hope your day was as relaxing as this photo suggests

For a family day out, it was quite relaxing!
Such a calm place! Have fun with your holidays =) #mysundayphoto
