Help with photography locations around Tayside, Scotland

I travel to Dundee fairly regularly with work, but never leave the city. I’ve got the opportunity to add a long weekend on to my next visit next month, and thought I’d get out and do some photograph (yes, seriously, in December in Scotland!).

The trouble is, I just don’t know the area well enough to know where to go and shoot in the limited daylight that I’ll have. I’ve ridden my motorbike through the Cairngorms a couple of times, but that hasn’t provided any inspiration. I’ll have Friday, Saturday and half of Sunday and am willing to travel around and stay in different locations if that helps.

Looking for ideas / inspiration!

Thanks for that, very useful. I’ve climbed Dundee Law before, and you’re right, it isn’t too inspirational up there. I think I’ve also done the V&A and Tay bridge to death too, but the other ideas sound great, thank you.

Excellent, thank you for the tip

Pretty mobile on both counts. I’ll be hiring a car, and am fit enough to hike all day, although I don’t particularly want to go too far off the beaten track alone at that time of year.

Cheers @GilesGuthrie much appreciated.

I would expect it to be on and off constantly now. Will just have to see what it is like much nearer the time.

Grab your gear and join for the weekend then!

Cool, that looks a good one too.
