The day was as "dreich" (Scots word for a miserable weather) as they come, that classic Scottish grey that soaks into everything.

I was on a walk, just passing through, when I saw it: the old mill by the river. It was an unassuming scene, but something about the way it stood there, stoic and strong against the flowing water and the dense woods, just captured my imagination.

I knew I had to go back.

When I returned, I felt this overwhelming sense of timelessness. It was a place that felt frozen in a moment, as though it had always been there and always would be. To reflect that feeling, I knew the photo had to be black and white. It stripped away the distractions of colour and left only the raw texture of the stone, the soft, ethereal flow of the water, and the enduring power of the landscape.

For me, this photo isn't just a picture of a mill. It's a reminder that even on the most dreich of days, you can find something truly beautiful and timeless if you're willing to go back and look for it.

Bring this timeless moment into your home. This print is a conversation starter, a piece of art that reminds you of the quiet strength and enduring beauty of the Scottish landscape, even on a cloudy day.
