Scotland’s landscape is often imagined as wild, remote, and untouched — but the reality is far more complex. What Lies Beneath explores the marks of human presence that shape the land, from agriculture and infrastructure to energy and field sports.

Our understanding of landscape is shaped not just by what we see, it is filtered through education, tradition, economics and personal bias. What we notice and value is often as much about culture as it is about place.

By pairing traditional landscape photography with drone images taken from directly above the same locations, the project reveals a dual perspective: the view we’re used to, and the one we rarely see. Together, these images offer a new way to look at familiar terrain — and invite reflection on how the land is used, valued, and changed over time.
