Hi All

As a professional event and fine art photographer from Edinburgh who spends a lot of time photographing landscapes around Scotland, particularly infrared photography in and around Central Scotland and the Highlands, I have seen major changes affecting the landscape.  Although its a great thing we can all travel and have numerous holidays, I have definitely seen a deterioration in the landscape due to overloading tourism numbers and its something we all need to be aware of, particularly these days with increasing travel, cruises etc.  Sometimes I think that this can be highlighted event more through alternative methods of photography such as infrared.  The green grass areas appear white in infrared photography, thereby leaving the footpaths as a dark sinister walkway.  I have seen this particularly in Edinburgh and Skye.  Just to illustrate here is a photo taken from Arthur's Seat on Sunday, it gives the shot an arty feel in what is one of my favourite locations in Edinburgh.

Anyway, its just food for thought, over to the politicians.

Kind Regards

Colin
