mountaineering photos: scotland 1996-2000
The majority of my climbing has been done in Scotland, and since 1996.
I have, during this time, taken photographs on many of the trips, and more so in recent years, since I started taking photography more seriously. I have climbed less since starting university, and haven't quite got round to scanning in any pictures yet.
Here are a selection of 17 thumbnails in chronological order of Scottish mountains taken on expeditions since May 1996.
Please do not reproduce any of these photos without my permission.
