Alphabet photography is a fun thing to do. The aim is simple – take a photo of something that looks like a letter of the English alphabet, but one that isn’t a printed, typed or written letter. I normally do this whenever I go on holiday, as I find it gets me to look around more at the scenery or buildings of the place I’m visiting. During the last Easter holidays, I went to Scotland. You can find the letters what I managed to locate below, along with a maps location of where it was taken (just in case you don’t believe me!), so that you can go there. Enjoy!
Note: Not all of the GPS locations are exactly in the location where the image was taken, so you’ll need to move a little around the map / street view if needed.
