May's photo is of the small former fishing village of Dornie, nestled in the magnificent western Ross-shire Highlands. The village is located at the meeting point of Loch Duich, Loch Alsh and Loch Long, and only a short walking distance from the world-famous Eilean Donan Castle. October's image shows the River Clyde in Glasgow. Reflected in the river, the spectacular Clyde Arc opened in 2006, a combined road and pedestrian bridge. The Clyde Waterfront regeneration changed the waterfront skyline with bold architecture including the Glasgow Science Centre, IMAX Cinema, Glasgow Tower and the SECC. Glasgow's wealth grew in the 19th century from heavy industry and shipbuilding on the River Clyde. The city also became a hub of ideas, with artists, designers and architects creating attractive and radical new buildings.
