Kilchurn Castle is top of my photography bucket list for the UK. I would love to get that stunning light at sunrise and the perfect reflection. Or, a dark and moody version. I am hoping to go and visit maybe later in the year or early next year, couple of nights in a cheap B&B. I then want to go and get some other stunning shots throught the day and sunset, and possibly an astro/milky way shot somewhere. Where is best for dark skies with a foreground interest?
I was thinking, drive up (5 hours), stay in B&B, up early for Kilchurn Castle, drive across to Castle stalker (A85), then onto Glencoe (Glen Etive pools???) A828, head towards Fort William A82 and stay over somewhere. Sunrise at Corpach shipwreck, head south for home (NE England) and capture something enroute home . Im not wanting to go any further north or to Skye this trip.
I know nothing about this area of Scotland, the logisitics of travel, any tolls or driving conditions, how much walking is involved from the car to each photography point, where to stay that will allow late night entry and early morning leave. Anything else ive not mentioned or needs considering? I dont want to climb mountains or trek for miles.
Its beena really tough 2020 for me and my mental health isnt good. Ive lost my mum and the loneliness of working from home for the past 6 months is really getting me down. I need to get out and clear my head, and this sort of trip will do wonders for me. As long as i dont physically exhaust myself.
Thanks for any advice.
