The weather and scenery this November in Scotland had been spectacular. We have enjoyed an autumn that lasted into the early part of the month, then sudden deep snow in the mountains and now a thawing. In addition, some lucky people caught sight of the “Supermoon”.
Here I reveal some of my favourite photos captured in November. Many thanks to all those that have allowed me to publish these pictures.

Even the view from my office window in a Glasgow suburb has been amazing this month!
