Beaches, coastal cliffs, dunes, forests, beautiful farmland, bogs, lochs, rolling hills to rugged mountains, the lazy Don and the lively Dee rivers, cascading waterfalls, castles, beautiful coastal fishing villages and much more....don't think a day goes by without me feeling incredibly grateful for living in this corner of the world and as a photographer you're never let down no matter what the weather throws at you, thanks for promoting this special place
I too have discovered many locations in my surrounding area on the east coast. From the coast of Aberdour up to Bow Fiddle Rock and beyond there’s plenty to photograph. I enjoy visiting the locations I discovered throughout the seasons to get different shots in different conditions. Keep doing your videos, and don’t have doubts about your work
Another great video, Kim. You're such a wonderful ambassador for Scotland! Thank you for the wonderful e-book too... it compliments your channel and enthusiasm wonderfully 😊
Not only a fine photographer, but a fine actress as well! That was a great way to end it - not that anyone is going to be put off by your promotion of your workshops, but it does serve as an amusing commentary on some *other* channels (which shall remain unnamed) where it seems the content/self-promotion ratio is falling rapidly.
Kim stay positive and focused and everything will be fine, your enthusiasm and natural talent will win through we all put ourselves under unnecessary pressure never feel you have to commit to doing a weekly vlog, I'm sure all who follow you will understand. With you all the way. Peter
Kim, I honestly don't know what that last minute was all about. Maybe you think you are rushing ahead too quickly? No, and don't doubt yourself or your capabilities - you are a great ambassador for Scotland and your videos are a highlight of Sunday morning for so many of us. I just wish our country had more like you; a young person with belief in their country and themselves, and with the ability to take that forward.
I love the east coast of Scotland so much! It will be our third trip in August and we are staying in Peterhead this time. Previously, we explored Inverness, Embo, Wick and Orney. The highlands are gorgeous. I cannot wait to explore Aberdeenshire!!
It is hard to imagine being put off by your efforts. Maintaining income is always a challenge and anything that will allow you to keep producing great videos and useful information is fine. Your way of looking at the world is translatable to anywhere. Those with access to Aberdeenshire certainly benefit, but those with access to different landscapes and cultures are also getting value from you. Keep going.
Nice one Kim, no we are not going off your videos or you, the fact is we cant get enough of them! Scotland is so lucky to have you, you bring so much pleasure to people, I have been to the west side of Scotland Oban and it was minus 15deg.....and when I was working I drove through Aberdeenshire with out stopping (mistake) but that was a longtime ago, I dont suppose I will get up that way again thats why you videos are so important to people like me, thanks for sharing.....
Thank you for this very lovely comment Des. It really made me smile. So lovely to hear how much people like yourself enjoy my journeys around Scotland :)
In response to that last min..... LOL LOl Lol it made me chuckle :D I mean honestly who wants to here about your ....website, website, website , workshops, workshops , workshops !!!!! Me for one :D Your Enthusiasm ,Enthusiasm , Enthusiasm , Excitement, Excitement, Excitement and your Passion for your Country is what also makes me watch your videos :D Do not ever stop being you :D Thanks for posting I am looking forward to your e book :D Teddy
Fantastic stuff. Your enthusiasm and positivity can't fail to get us out exploring with our cameras, not just in Aberdeenshire, but anywhere. I'm only a couple of hours away from Aberdeen so once I get my dates sorted I will try booking a workshop.
Thank you David. Lovely to hear that I'm inspiring people to get out and about. Fingers crossed that you manage to make it to one of my workshops. Would be great to have you along :)
Great to hear Mark! A real shame that none of my workshops match up with your trip but hopefully you'll make on in the future. Enjoy your trip here and happy snapping!
Hi Kim, I have already booked a cottage for easter and added your locations to my list. This will be my first time in Aberdeenshire and I am looking forward to it. Loving the Blogs. Keep them coming. :-D
That's great to hear John! I hope you have a wonderful time and if any of my workshops coincide with your trip, feel free to book a place. I certainly will keep the videos coming - thank you!
New subscriber here (via your comment on Thomas Heaton’s channel). Love Scotland and visit often but not so much on the east coast - which is going to change thanks to your videos. Also I’ve been looking at maybe taking part in a photography workshop and can’t believe I’ll miss yours in Spey Bay by one day! :(
Welcome to the journey Ian! Lovely to have you on board and great that you feel inspired to visit the east coast more. That's such a shame that you miss the Spey Bay workshop. It's a great location. Hopefully you'll make another one sometime!
Thank you so much Kim for putting the e-book together, just subscribed & looking forward to having a read later 😚 & thank you for showcasing your home county in Aberdeenshire. So many lovely & interesting locations to visit! I’m thrilled that Rattray Head made no.1 , I think it was the first video of yours I watched 😍 I just love that lighthouse & coastline! Wow!
You mentioned Ed, who has been conspicuously absent for a while. He always seemed painfully shy. Is he behind the camera or no longer following you on your adventures? Looking forward to the ebook. I've convinced my wife we need to go to the UK, so I just have to get one of my kinds finished with college so I can afford it! :)
He's very shy! He's been behind camera in a few of my recent videos. You may spot him in a few clips in my most recent video shot at Elgin Cathedral. You certainly do - I hope that you make it over here one day. You'd love it :)
That's great Simon! I hope that you enjoy them and feel free to check out my Aberdeenshire workshops too if you'd like to join a small group for a few hours and see these locations in more detail :)
Plus, that last little bit, don't fret. Your workshops and tours will be what everyone wants to hear about because I want to go, other people do too, Scotland is stunning. I'm looking up a summer weekend hopefully to join you on one of your workshop and will be bringing photographer friends also which the would LOVE. So don't fret or worry or stress yourself over talking about. You're a fantastic representative for Scotland and I love your videos. Keep it up xxx.
I haven't got a plan for that yet but would be great to make an Outer Hebrides e-book one day! I will have to go and explore the other islands first though (only been to Harris and lewis so far).
Interesting guide KIm. The lighthouse at Rattray is a great place to visit hover the road to it is a nightmare, or was the last time I went with deep potholes.
Just checking up on you. Have you seen “Local Hero” yet? No? Watch it, for crying out loud. If you like quirky, as you seem to, it is the very definition of quirky. And the music by Mark Knopfler is a bonus.
You can stop panicking now Richard- I have seen it!! I watched it a few months ago. Was interesting to see Pennan a few decades back and the story behind the film was very cleaver. Glad I finally got around to seeing it :)

You're very welcome for the e-book Ian. Glad you like it and thank you also for your very kind words :)
Kim I have watched you go from strength to strength, do not doubt your capabilities they are immense. Just stay focused.
Thank you very much John! This was a lovely comment to read :)

Thank you for your continued kind support - it's much appreciated :)
I think your videos will be popular forever, you have the right recipe for success. Well done again.
That's lovely of you to say Brenda - thank you!
Haha that bit at the end cracked me up! You are always positive! Rattray head lighthouse is on my photography bucket list!
Fantastic! Can maybe go there when you come up to Aberdeenshire - lets get those locations ticked off your bucket list!
@@kimgrantphotography sounds a good plan :)
Kim stay positive and focused and everything will be fine, your enthusiasm and natural talent will win through we all put ourselves under unnecessary pressure never feel you have to commit to doing a weekly vlog, I'm sure all who follow you will understand.
With you all the way. Peter

You're in for a treat Jo! So many stunning places to see

Thank you for your kind feedback and support John. It's very much appreciated :)
I'm going for that E-book Kim and please do more of E-book style of other different places in Scotland that'll be awesome.
I plan to make a few that are a lot more in-depth to sell as the year progresses. Keep you eyes pealed for announcements :)

Hi Kim I will stop with you, as always I love your photos.
Thank you John :)
Great video, lovely to see your channel growing! Keep the great work
Thank you Suzannah
About what you said at last dont worry we are always going to be with you.. we want to see your videos more frequently
Fantastic stuff. Your enthusiasm and positivity can't fail to get us out exploring with our cameras, not just in Aberdeenshire, but anywhere. I'm only a couple of hours away from Aberdeen so once I get my dates sorted I will try booking a workshop.
Thank you David. Lovely to hear that I'm inspiring people to get out and about. Fingers crossed that you manage to make it to one of my workshops. Would be great to have you along :)
I'm convinced Kim! I want to go to Scotland!
My job is done! I hope that you make it here in the near future Catherine - you would love it!
Thank you again, Kim, for your passion for Scotland and photography! Of course we'll keep on watching! You are great and inspiring. Confidence!
Thanks again Don - much appreciated :)
I will be on your coastline last weekend of April, sadly none of your sessions match the dates I’m visiting but lots of ideas, thank you 👍👍
Great to hear Mark! A real shame that none of my workshops match up with your trip but hopefully you'll make on in the future. Enjoy your trip here and happy snapping!

I’ve never been to Aberdeenshire but thanks to your videos it’s on my list.
Great Paul! I hope that you make it here someday :)
Keep up the good work. I may even venture doon aberdeenshire way myself at some point this year.
Thank you Mike and hope that you do - it's got a lot to offer :)
Thank you so much Kim for putting the e-book together, just subscribed & looking forward to having a read later 😚 & thank you for showcasing your home county in Aberdeenshire.

Well done Kim looking forward to reading the e book. Never really explored the East side of Scotland.
Enjoy Jim and I hope that it inspires you to come to this part of the world.
Great ebook Kim and yes im inspired.
Rattray is my favourite place to take photos at. always different like you say.
I'm coming to Scotland in April, will check out the sites you mention, Thanks for the heads up.
That's great Simon! I hope that you enjoy them and feel free to check out my Aberdeenshire workshops too if you'd like to join a small group for a few hours and see these locations in more detail :)
Fab locations, will be making notes 😊 great video thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your very kind comment Jennifer and I hope to see you and your friends on a workshop in the near future :) Much appreciated.
Nice one Kim ! Off for a read ;)
Thanks for e-book, I will check it out and I appreciate a work you put into that.
Say, do you plan to put together an e-book about Outer Hebrides?
I haven't got a plan for that yet but would be great to make an Outer Hebrides e-book one day! I will have to go and explore the other islands first though (only been to Harris and lewis so far).
Great ending to the video Kim 😄👍🏼
Interesting guide KIm. The lighthouse at Rattray is a great place to visit hover the road to it is a nightmare, or was the last time I went with deep potholes.
It sure is and yes...pity about the state if the road. It's still full of potholes :(
Very nice video Kim will subcribe for e-book and news letter for sure
Great Rohan - thank you!
No need to worry that people are going off you Kim. I'm certainly not, I enjoy all of your videos
Thank you Dave - much appreciated :)

Kim Grant What a relief. I was afraid you’d miss it, and it’s a real gem.
Like 35 Kim eres genial
I doubt people are going off you.
Thank you Peter :)
