Looking for a property photographer based in the Hebrides? John MacLean Photography has wide experience of photographing properties large and small, from small holiday chalets to guest houses, bed and breakfasts and whole-property luxurious holiday accommodation, even carrying out an extensive high-resolution photographic recording of the recently renovated Lews Castle in Stornoway. I also photograph all shapes and sizes of private houses coming up for sale, using the best equipment and techniques to present each property to best advantage.

Sandwick Bay Candles

By John MacLean, 11/12/2020

 

Last week I was photographing Megan MacDonald, owner of Sandwick Bay Candles in Stornoway, where Megan and her team were very busy fulfilling Christmas orders.

An excellent example of a business selling locally and also sending their products all over the world, Sandwick Bay Candles provides much-needed employment during difficult economic times in the islands. Set up in 2016, the business continues to grow its customer base by offering a range of quality products including luxury hampers, reed diffusers and lotions. Good luck for the future!

Point & Sandwick wind turbines, 2018

By John MacLean, 15/01/2020

 

On this date two years ago I was photographing the Point and Sandwick Trust wind turbines (Beinn Ghrideag) on the outskirts of Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, for The Guardian. In contrast to the current wet and windy weather in Lewis, conditions then were extremely cold and crisp, with occasional heavy hail showers ripping across the landscape.

Point and Sandwick Trust was named 2018 UK Social Enterprise of the Year and uses income from the community wind project to help fund community projects across the island.
