Scotland is without doubt a beautiful country and it can often look more stunning from the air, from that special bird’s-eye view. With today’s technology, drones have opened up the world, providing us new and unique perspectives on the landscape and allowing us to capture the views that continue to draw people from all over.

In Scotland from the Air, photographer Shahbaz Majeed has used drone and helicopter to take readers on an altogether different journey. Through these pictures, you can see the sweep of the land and how the layers of history have been embedded in and become part of these landscapes. From its varied and dramatic coastline, to its iconic landmarks, historic buildings, towns, cities and industries, the aerial views on these pages show the beauty and fascination of Scotland in another way.

Shahbaz Majeed is a multi award-winning photographer from Dundee. His images have been seen around the World showcasing Scotland on an international platform. Shahbaz’s belief is that we as photographers have an important job not just to document our surroundings but to share our work in order to promote the beauty of the World to others. By sharing our knowledge with others, not just to inspire future generations of photographers, but to also push the boundaries and quality of our own work, we will inevitably raise the game for the better.
