A new book celebrates the "otherworldly" landscapes of the Scottish Highlands with a collection of stunning photographs.
Magical Landscapes Secret Places, from award-winning creative duo Alastair Laidlaw and Christine Marsden, highlights the magical folklore and fantasy elements that permeate the history of the Highlands landscape. It was created over a period of seventeen years, following the authors' move to Fort Augustus, just south of Loch Ness.
Acting as a "love letter" to the region, the book features "exceptional photography, capturing scenes of extraordinary natural and magical beauty". It brings attention to how the Highlands have changed over the last 20 years, showing a "huge evolution in the function of the landscape".
