Photographing the Milky Way in Scotland is a magical experience, where the dark skies of the Highlands provide the perfect canvas for the galaxy’s luminous swirl. Away from city lights, the rugged landscapes transform into otherworldly stages, with ancient mountains and lochs reflecting the starlit spectacle above. Crisp, clear nights reveal the Milky Way’s core in stunning detail, making every long exposure feel like a portal to the cosmos. Patience is key, but the moments when the Milky Way arches perfectly over a jagged peak or a quiet loch are worth every shiver in the cold.
