THE SELFIE HOTSPOTS

-

Dunnottar Castle, Aberdeensh­ire

This spot was the inspiratio­n behind Disney Pixar’s Brave. Perched atop soaring cliffs overlookin­g the Aberdeensh­ire coast, the ruins of Dunnottar Castle are a fairytale setting. Get the best angle before crossing the narrow bit of land.

Glen Coe Mountains, Scottish Highlands

Glen Coe is one of the most recognised valleys in Scotland, and is surrounded by almost unparallel­ed beauty; with looming mountains and breat-taking scenery. It’s also the place where Hogwarts is located in the Harry Potter films, and where James Bond took refuge with Q in Skyfall.

Loch Ness, Scottish Highlands

This 23-mile loch offers scenic views all the way around – perfect for photo opportunit­ies. Whether it’s from the banks of Dores beach, at Urquhart Castle or a water tour over the deep blue expanse, you’ll get a great shot.

Fairy Pools, Isle of Skye

The enchanting Fairy Pools – crystal clear blue pools of the River Brittle – entice visitors from all over the world, and they make great wild swimming for those brave enough. And while on Skye make sure you get a snap at the Old Man of Storr.

Corryvreck­an Whirlpool, Argyll

It’s the third largest whirlpool in the world, with giant nine-metre waves crashing around it. The resulting maelstrom can reportedly be heard up to 10 miles away. On a good day you might also see seals, porpoises, dolphins or minke whales in the water.
