ALT Edinburgh's Camera Obscura and World of Illusions. The image shows a view down the top end of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh with buildings on both sides and the street continuing down a gentle hill in the distance in the lower right of the frame. In the centre of the frame is a five-storey stone building topped off by battlements and small turrets that looks rather castle-like. On top of it is what looks like the top of a lighthouse, octagonal in shape and finished mainly in white. The street is largely in shadow, but the upper parts of the buildings are in sunlight.
ALT This modern image shows Wellmeadow in the centre of Blairgowrie in Perthshire. In the centre of the image is the tall war memorial with a paved area this side of it and grass beyond, with trees on two sides. The scene is in sunlight. The front cover of ‘Hide and Seek’ is shown in the top right corner.
ALT The Birnam Oak. The two images both show the oak without leaves. It has a thick central trunk and spreads to cover a large area. Some of the lower branches are supported on thick pillars of wood. The difference between the two images is that one has the sun behind the photographer so shows the oak in full light, with the river glimpsed beyond it. The other is looking into the sun, so the tree is silhouetted and there is a hedge in the background with houses beyond it.

ALT Today's 'Where in Scotland' image. It is a squarish image showing a view over a stretch of blue water past two small boats to a strip of land that extends across the centre of the frame. It has houses and cottages strung out along it and there is an outcrop of rock on the left. In the distant background are the outlines of hills and mountains. The scene is in sunlight.

ALT Lesmahagow Priory in South Lanarkshire. The image shows a stone church standing in the middle distance with a narrow spire at its left-hand end. There are houses and other buildings in the background. In the foreground is a grassy area with the remains of stone foundations visible slightly above and below the ground level. The sky is blue.
ALT The image shows a distant view over the settlement of Durness in Sutherland. The visible buildings are scattered across the middle portion of the frame, set amongst rough fields. In the foreground at the foot of the frame is a band of dark heather, while in the background, well beyond the village, is a domed hill. The sky is partly cloudy and the scene is in sunlight. The front cover of ‘Bridge of Sighs’ is shown in the bottom right corner.
