An account of one winter’s day of stock photography in Stirling, Scotland. The 7th of December 2010 dawned bright and cold and saw me standing on Abbey Craig near the Wallace Monument in temperatures of -12°C watching and waiting for the light.

Here are five of my favourite new images from this year.

A winter sunrise from the Ochils image. The forecast was for cloud heading in from the west around sunrise, which if the timing was right could give some stunning skies.
