Erwitt’s pictures are full of deep meaning touched up with irony and dedicated to Scottish traditions, daily life of its inhabitants and vivid local vibe. With a backdrop of various landscapes from Scottish Highlands and Islands to the cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh the photographer managed to capture the paramount beauty of the ideal beauty.
