Despite travelling widely, talented photographer Karen Deakin loves to photograph her home – Scotland – best of all. “There are so many beautiful landscapes and seascapes on offer,” she says, “..but the most formidable offering has to be the Highlands of Scotland for its dramatic mountainous ranges.” Despite its small size, the U.K.\u2019s northernmost country is densely packed with stunning attractions and superb wildlife.
