The Photographic Competition was launched in 2010 to provide a platform to celebrate Scotland as a key destination for nature photographers from around the world and to acknowledge the excellence of the photographic work that is undertaken here through the award of the title of “Scottish Nature Photographer of the Year”.

  • Scottish Wildlife
