A few days before, I ordered several neutral density filters for my 300mm lens before in preparation for the eclipse. I submitted the order futilely, having seen that the forecast was supposed to be Scotland's standard overcast weather. 

Luckily enough, the clouds were thin enough enough that I could manage to get some photos. Fast shutter speed made everything look very dark in-shot, whereas the light outside of my viewfinder was only a touch darker.
