  • A bright window light shines across the still Loch Bay from Lochbay Boathouse, a remote house at Stein, Waternish Point on the Isle of Skye. Lochbay Boathouse is a unique seaside house. It sits on the shore of Lochbay, on the Waternish peninsula, a few miles from Dunvegan, in the north-west of Skye. Built in the early 19th Century with thick walls of local stone, it was originally the boathouse for the Waternish Estate. In the early 1970's it was converted into a house by the singer Donovan and now combines modern comfort with the character of an unmistakably old building.

  • Built on rocks once surrounded by sea, Dunvegan Castle is home to Hugh MacLeod, Chief of the ancient clan MacLeod on the north-west corner of the Isle of Skye, Scottish Highlands. Hugh is the 30th encumbent of the McLeods and this has been the clan's traditional stronghold and ancestral home for 800 years which makes it the longest inhabited family home in Scotland. Now a visitor centre and place of pilgrimage for MacLeods from all over the world, it houses medieval artefacts from when Scotland was a wild and warring nation against the English. It has survived clan battles, extremes of feast and famine and profound social, political and economic changes in the Highlands. Originally designed to keep people out, Dunvegan Castle was first opened to the public in 1933. Visitors include Sir Walter Scott, Dr Johnson, Queen Elizabeth II and Emperor Akihito.

  • The last light of day fades on the still waters of Sgeir Nam Biast, a bay overlooking Waternish Headland, near Dunvegan, north-west Isle of Skye, Scottish Highlands. A solitary light bulb glows from an upstairs room in this isolated cottage across the calm lake. The weather is perfect but unusual for one of the wildest parts of Britain. Farming practices have changed irreversably in a generation and many residents have English accents rather than that of native Scots islanders as city dwellers from the far south seek an alternative to urban lifestyles. The weather can have adverse effects on those unprepared for such wild conditions, especially during harsh winters when violent storms batter these Atlantic coasts. But old crofts have been converted to bed and breakfast homes, catering for tourist visitors who adore this form of idyllic escapism....

  • Rosettes and sheep competition mementoes adorn the wall and mantlepiece of champion breeder Vic Bull's crofting bungalow home overlooking Loch Bay, Waternish, Isle of Skye Scotland. Afternoon sunlight pours through a front window into his living room which serves as a shrine to the Sheep. Having already refused a half million Pounds for his house and spectacular view high up on a hill, he prefers to breed his beloved Blackface sheep which he shows only twice a year at local competitions in the Dunvegan area and the prizes and awards are proof of his success. Vic now lives alone rearing his livestock with four sheepdogs for training and company. Image taken for the 'UK at Home' book project published 2008..

  • Decorator and part-time chimney sweep Alan Squires prepares to apply another coat of emulsion paint to the exterior walls of a cottage called Burnside in the tiny hamlet of Hallin, Waternish, on the Isle of Skye, Scottish Highlands. With his shadow looming large on the newly-painted off-white pebbledash that is rendered a warm orange in the low sunlight, Alan walks with his long roller after a day's decorating in this beautiful place near Dunvegan. Alan is an Englishman who came to Skye in 1987 for the community spirit. "everybody knows everybody' he says though admits that southerners come from the south in search of an idyllic lifestyle but harsh winters often send them back to warmer climates. Alain's fresh paint therefore needs to dry before winter weather blows in from the Atlantic. Image taken for the 'UK at Home' book project published 2008.

  • Across the calm waters of a Scottish bay, isolated houses and crofts sit before the dramatic Cuillin Mountains that rise up in the distance on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Sunlight from unusually fine weather spreads across this beautiful landscape seen from the road to Dunvegan, near the hamlet of Harlosh. Farming practices have changed irreversably in a generation and many southerners have English accents rather than that of native Scots islanders as city dwellers from the far south seek an alternative to urban lifestyles. The weather can have adverse effects on those unprepared for such wild conditions, especially during harsh winters when violent storms batter these Atlantic coasts.

  • Holidaymakers are seated in deckchairs on the North Pier at Blackpool, England. As a man in the back row drinks deeply from a can and a lady next to him looks intently at life to the right, a more eccentric woman sleeps with a lacy handkerchief stretched across her face, pinned inside her sunglasses. Looking very English with embroidered or printed pattern of flowers. This northern seaside resort in the north-west of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd. Blackpool is the largest resort in the north of England and visited traditionally by working people from industrial towns and cities during the industrial revolution.

  • A rather eccentric-looking man is seated on a bench on Blackpool's North Pier. This northern seaside resort in the north-west of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd. The pier has intricate cast ironwork seat backs dating from 1863 and the man sits with ankles crossed, wearing a suit and trilby hat on a warm summer's day. In the background we see families - parents and children - playing and walking on the beach at low-tide - the golden sands a much-visited aspect of Blackpool, the largest resort in the north of England and visited traditionally by working people from industrial towns and cities during the industrial revolution.

  • It is night-time on Blackpool's Golden Mile, the seaside resort in Lancashire, England. Like an English Las Vegas the neon lights glow to entice the holidaymaker inside where slot machines, games and rides await visitors to lose their vacation money. The Golden Mile is the name given to the stretch of Promenade between the North and South piers. It emerged in the late 19th Century, when small-time fairground operators, fortune-tellers, phrenologists and oyster bars set up in the front gardens of boarding houses, This northern seaside resort in the north-west of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd.

  • Two men enjoy their own versions of Blackpool North Pier, Lancashire, England. On the right, the first man is lying down on a bench with his trousers gathered around his ankles, his red bathing costume or underpants are baggy and he is looking across to something of interest while scratching his bald head. The second man on the right is not wearing a shirt and his stomach is spilling over his trousers. He has a bunch of keys attached to his belt and is pointing a video camera (camcorder) towards the shore. It is a comical scene and typical of Blackpool beach life. This northern sea side resort in the north-west of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd.

  • An elderly Spanish lady walks towards a strong setting sun that shines through an old medieval street in the beautiful town of Valldemossa in north-west Majorca, one of the Balearic Island. She leans forward, striding with a quick pace while holding a traditional fan called an abanico. Valldemossa is at 400 kilometres above sea level, the highest community on the island and in the middle of the valley of Sierra de Tramuntana. Part of the village goes up into the mountain slope and sits on the slopes of the Tramuntana mountains. The town gained some sort of fame when Polish composer Frederic Chopin came and stayed at the Carthusian monastery (Cartoixa Reial) with his lover George Sand in the winter of 1838-39.

  • Large arrows coloured red, green and yellow point north, west and east - or up, right and left - in three directions, to offer directions to seminars for accountants during their annual Academy Day held for 3,000 of company London employees at Excel in London's Docklands, England. The people are either confidently pacing forward, standing still to seek guidance or simply spontaneously emerging from the shadows to a brighter future, a moment when freedom of choice is offered and the road ahead dictates their fate. It is a scene of corporate theatre and each employee will attend this fair where motivational pep-talks from executives, outside speakers and gurus will talk to large groups of personnel so their presence on this day away from the office is vital for the year's business ahead.

  • On a busy Summer weekend, families enjoy the old Tarr Steps Clapper Bridge over the River Barle in Exmoor National Park, Devon, England. Crossing on the huge stone prehistoric slabs which weigh up to 5 tons apiece, children play with fishing nets, walk dogs and sit enjoying the view below of others who mess about in a small inflatable dinghy on the flowing stream. Located in a National Nature Reserve about 2.5 miles (4 km) south east of Withypool and 4 miles (6 km) north west of Dulverton, this spot is a favourite tourist place in South-West England. This typical clapper bridge construction may date to around 1000 BC. It is 180 feet (55 m) long and has 17 spans and designated by English Heritage as a grade I listed building.

  • A detail of a rock and holiday souvenir seller in the Lancashire seaside town of Blackpool. Standing in his shop, we see the owner of this seaside shop on the northwest England resort where buying seaside gifts and souvenirs is ever popular by visitors and daytrippers. In 1887, sugar-boiling factory owner Ben Bullock bought some plain stick candy band had the idea of putting ‘Blackpool Rock’ through the centre of the rock. Now a major industry in the holiday season in Britain and many seaside towns have their versions with their own names running through the rock. Modern seaside rock is thicker, about 1 inch, and more solid than the original form. Its sugar content is nowadays a reason not to buy as much, the adverse effects on teeth from sugar and colouring by the confectionary industry being a main reason for its decline.

  • A boy spreads his hands and fingers out on a Gatwick South Terminal window. Outside is the nose of an American Northwest Airlines DC-10 with its third engine mounted high on the rear fuselage) that is parked at a satellite gate at London Gatwick airport. The boy is a silhouette against subdued light and the aircraft's nose resembles a shark's face that is menacingly close to the young child. Such is the flattening of perspective by a telephoto lens, the aircraft looks much closer than in reality. Gatwick airport, as well as Heathrow, Stansted, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Southampton in the UK, is owned and administered by BAA, the British Airport Authority.
