NatureScot calendar 2021 competition winners announced

During the summer NatureScot appealed to the nation for their treasured photos and memories of Scotland’s rivers, coasts, seas, lochs and canals.

These beautiful winning images now feature in a celebratory calendar marking Scotland’s Year of Coasts and Waters. With over 700 entries, Scotland’s nature agency was overwhelmingly impressed with the quality and selection of photographs.

Francesca Osowska, NatureScot Chief Executive said “We were struck by the range of subjects captured – from underwater wildlife encounters to journeys through scenic waterscapes, spanning the length and breadth of Scotland, including our island treasures.”

The final calendar is available to view and download from https://www.nature.scot/naturescot-calendar-2021.
