Call me crazy, but I kind of like Scotland when the sky is low. Really moody shots.

Visibility in Scotland is the best when low-ish overcast. Final bits of the day when sometimes the sun gets through and shines on the cloud cover from the bottom are magic.

Morning and evening in Scotland is incredible. Sideways rain in the middle of the day sucks a bit though.

Same. I loved Edinburgh just as much as the highlands.

4 days is nothing. We regularly go weeks without a blue sky! You experienced authentic weather which is the main thing ๐Ÿ‘

I was there for 16 days in May and had mostly great weather but we did have windy days that cancelled both our excursions to see puffins.

Was that the same guy that told you to stick your face in a river for seven seconds so you could get wishes from fairies or some other bollocks?

Digital slr or mirrorless camera with a hard graduated filters for the sky and you have some of the best moody images you could ever ask of Scotland.

In sun, rain, fog and snow, the Isle of Skye is beautiful. You can drive the same road everyday and still see something different.
