The author and photographer have taken incredible images of Scottish islands over the past 18 months.
Alastair Jackson recorded the adventures when he traveled to 42 remote locations, SWNS reported.
Jackson’s photos were inspired by the weather, light, clouds and landscapes of Scotland along the West Coast.

“My mother said she didn’t want to travel to other islands, and when you grew up in one place, I thought you really wouldn’t travel,” Jackson told SWNS.
“So I wanted to go and explore.”
Travelers said he discovered that when he went to Bara Island and elsewhere from Giga Island, he discovered that each location was a “charming adventure.”

He told SWNS “After growing up on Skye, he was inspired by the island and their culture.”
Along his journey, Jackson’s goal was to fully experience the different styles, scenery and lifestyles of those living in each destination.
“On this trip, I wanted to emphasize “island life.” People are doing different things, doing what’s going on on the island,” Jackson said.

“It’s very important – people sometimes forget that there are people who live in these places.”

“I woke up early in the morning, got sunrise and then got the evening sun. And I was lucky with the weather I had. Surprisingly, it only rained for a day or two.”
Jackson said he was also surprised by the wildlife he saw in front of and behind the camera – from corn creek birds to sharks.
