Homecoming Scotland 2009

Homecoming Scotland 2009 has now finished.

Inspired by the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, Homecoming Scotland 2009 extended an invitation to Scotland's people at home and abroad to reconnect with our great country. Throughout the year and across the country, more than 400 events provided a special Homecoming welcome. Thank you for your support.

What inspired you to take this shot?
That's easy - stunning location with a stunning sunset.  It would have been criminal not to have taken the shot.

Why are you particularly proud of it?
I'm most proud that I actually managed to take the shot at all - the midges were not pleased with my intrusion.  For the most part whenever I look at this picture I keep thinking about how much better it should have been had I taken a bit more time, used the tripod and dabbed on a little Avon skin-so-soft first.

What does this particular location mean to you?
It's near the top of my list to return at sunset with a tripod.  It truly is a stunning part of a stunning island.
