The Soul of Scotland
Join Joana, a determined, eco-conscious photographer with a sharp wit, and her endearingly chaotic partner Brian, a vegan snack enthusiast with a penchant for oversleeping sunrise shoots and creating chaos, on an extraordinary photographic road trip through Scotland's breathtaking Highlands and Islands. Commissioned to create a unique photo guide that captures the "soul of Scotland," Joana and Brian set off on an eco-conscious road trip in a small electric car. Armed with an antique book and a quest to uncover the "Traveller's Mark," they seek the true essence of Scotland while championing sustainable tourism.
The Adventure
Joana and Brian's trip takes a wild turn when they're stalked by Angus, a charismatic yet cunning with a secret plan, and his clan, the MacBraighs. As they travel through amazing landscapes, from the south's lowlands to the far-off isles, they face thrilling adventures and challenges, forcing them to outsmart the MacBraighs at every turn. Along the way, they meet a bunch of unforgettable, very Scottish characters like Lorna, the mysterious pub lady; Orran, the shy environmentalist; and Fergus, the keeper of ancient Viking artefacts.
The Photo Guide
Amidst the stunning scenery and the humorous narrative, the guide seamlessly transitions into Joana's personal photo journals, detailing 155 meticulously curated locations with essential information for photographers and travellers alike. Over 570 additional suggestions, photographic tutorials, "Shutter Challenges," and breathtaking images further enrich your Scottish experience. The "Green Lens Guide" offers valuable insights for responsible tourism, including tips for road tripping with an electrical car.
You will be transported to these breathtaking landscapes, eager to recreate your own photographic masterpieces while minimising your environmental footprint.

A letter for you from the author Joana
“Dear reader,
Are you searching for a Scotland photo guide? A resourceful tool to simplify your next trip's planning? Are you, however, not a fan of dry lists and run-of-the-mill guidebooks that only feature the well-known locations?
When you see this book, you might wonder, "What is it exactly? A low-budget Harry Potter knockoff? Or a guidebook?"
No. Neither. Or both?
Imagine a Scotland photo adventure where stunning landscapes come alive on every page. A journey where you don't just find the perfect photo spots, but you step into a story that sparks your imagination and ignites your creativity in photography.
Instead of merely following a list of locations, embark on a fictional road trip through Scotland alongside Joana and her travel companion Brian. Together, you’ll immerse yourself in a captivating storyline that weaves together Scottish characters, local lore, history, legends, and mysteries.
This engaging narrative will allow you to learn about, feel, and experience Scotland in a playful and interactive way. It will spark your curiosity and inspire you to venture out and capture the beauty of each location through your own lens. Joana’s travel journal, which includes non-fictional descriptions of the photo spots, will assist you in selecting and planning your preferred destinations for your unique and personalised Scottish adventure.
Let’s create unforgettable images and stories in Scotland!
Warmly, Joana ”
