EXPLORING NATURE

These pictures, taken at the grounds of Haddo House in Aberdeenshire, were sent in by reader Alice Gauld, who is 20-years-old and lives in Blackdog, Aberdeenshire.

Alice wanted to share her pictures with our readers, sowedecided to dedicate a page in Your Weekend to show off her talents.

Alice said: “I have always enjoyed nature and try to take every opportunity I can to explore the countryside. I enjoy escaping the city and losing myself in the wonderful hidden gems in the shire. Photography is currently something I do as a hobby as I find it’s the best way to capture the beauty of the countryside. Haddo House (where these photos were taken) is a childhood dream for me. With its gorgeous lake, beautiful walks and stunning house, I find it to be the perfect escape.”
