SYSTEM©Welcome to this week’s features sneak peek! We have a fabulous selection of features we know you’ll love in our November 14 issue.
On this week’s cover, Willie Shand took himself off the grid to explore the remote Highland peninsula of Coigach, north of Ullapool.
Exploring Scotland in the winter time might be a chilly business, but Willie points out this is one of the best times of year to capture stunning Highland scenes on camera. His pictures speak for themselves!
Willie talks us through the history of Coigach’s impressive landscape, all the way back to the ice age, explaining how it came to be what it is today.
Discover the breath-taking scenery, plentiful wildlife and rich history of Coigach in this week’s issue.
