Exploring the Timeless Beauty of Arbroath Abbey

Hello, today I’d like to share with you some photos from a recent visit to Arbroath Abbey.

Nestled in the heart of Arbroath, the ruins of Arbroath Abbey stand as a testament to Scotland’s rich medieval history.

The abbey’s architecture showcases the grandeur of medieval design, with its towering arches, intricate stone carvings, and beautiful rose windows. Despite being in ruins, these elements highlight the skilled craftsmanship of the era

Founded in 1178 by King William the Lion, Arbroath Abbey is one of Scotland’s most significant medieval monasteries. It played a crucial role in Scottish history, particularly as the place where the Declaration of Arbroath was drafted in 1320, a document asserting Scotland’s independence.

The Declaration of Arbroath is one of Scotland’s most important historical documents, symbolizing Scottish independence and national identity.

In 1320, during a turbulent period of Scottish history marked by wars of independence against England, Scottish nobles and barons came together to draft the Declaration of Arbroath. This letter, addressed to Pope John XXII, sought to affirm Scotland’s status as an independent kingdom and to request the Pope’s intervention in the conflict with England.

I can highly recommend the Abbey for a visit, as it is a very interesting site.

Black and White, Dog walking

Good morning,

Today I’d like to share some simple black and white images where we walk the dog locally on the beach. I am enjoying the contrast and textures at the moment shooting in monochrome.

I would love to see your black-and-white images.

Feel free to comment over on Instagram @lee_ramsden

Skiing, Morzine France.

Hello, I hope that you are well.

Today I wanted to share some images from a recent Ski trip to Morzine France.

Incredible way to destress and switch off from the stresses of life.

Although the town was losing snow, up in the mountains it remained perfect conditions.

Loch Brandy

Hello,

I hope that you are well and have had a lovely weekend.

Today I thought Id share a couple of simple shots from a recent hike up Loch Brandy.

Loch Brandy is a superb example of a mountain corrie, backed by craggy slopes and cradling a perfect loch. The walk has the benefit of a very well-constructed path making this a good short and relatively easy hillwalk.

Thanks

Lee
