Inspiring Places & Spaces: The Trossachs
Inspiring Places and Spaces: The Trossachs
So after a busy month up and down the M6 to London to exhibit at trade shows Top Drawer and 100% Design, it was lovely to escape for a few days to the calm and tranquility of the Trossachs. There’s something about the cleanness of the air and flourishing landscapes that makes this part of Scotland a particularly inspiring place to go to recharge your batteries.

Seeking Inspiration
I’m often asked where do I get my inspiration from and it’s all around really. Favourite places to visit….the great outdoors….special places to stay….inspiring spaces….
And so I thought I would blog about finding inspiration and hope that it might help you also get those creative juices flowing.
In fact I've come back from my Trossachs trip with so many photographs, I've broken my blog into two parts!
Here's part one!
1. NATURAL LANDSCAPES
A trip to the Trossachs: a perfect opportunity to photograph the textures, colours and patterns of the Scottish landscapes. Particularly at this time of year when the leaves are turning golden at their tips and vibrant colour is everywhere to be found.

Perhaps you have a favourite cafe or restaurant? Art gallery? Or maybe you have a fab ‘go-to’ book, blog or magazine? Make a list, sketch things that inspire you, capture it in photography. Keep a record. I hope this gives you a creative boost! Let me know how you get on and check back later this week for
