Winter in Perthshire - and throughout Scotland - throws up some the most beautiful images on earth and this breathtaking gallery will leave you setting your alarm to make the early morning sunrise.
With the sun low in the sky and a landscape of mountains, rivers, lochs and fields, a mystical land appears under a blanket streaked with orange, pink, red and gold.
These breathtaking sunsets and sunrises have been taken during the winter of 2015 / 2016 by our extremely talented local Sun Chasers. Enjoy.
Gallery Photographers:
We are thrilled this week to have contribution from four local photographers who are currently making a big impact on Instagram. Some are keen amateurs, some are professionals and all share a love of the great outdoors and the beauty that can be found right here on our doorstep.
The gallery has been curated by Kristy Ashton, our amazing Small City admin support.

'...I have always had a love of the outdoors and being close to nature ever since I was a little girl living in the Australian outback. After upgrading to an IPhone6 last year I started trying to capture this passion along with educating my children of the simple beauty around them. Now with a ‘real camera’ in hand, and an ever-increasing desire to ‘chase that sunset’, I can’t stop exploring! Scotland is a beautiful place and a photographer's dream...'
