Historic Scotland photo competition entries

THEY are some of the most photographed locations in Scotland but as the submitted entries to this year’s Historic Scotland photography competition prove so far, the right angle, technique and vision can present these famous landmarks in a whole new light.

With entries not closing until September 30, there is still time to enter this year’s contest where you could win £500 worth of photography vouchers, one year of Historic Scotland Membership and a unique experience on location with a Scotsman photographer.

This week’s featured entries are:

Doune Castle by Thomas Bromirski

Smailholm Tower by John Short

Linlithgow Palace by Laura Connolly

Stirling Castle by Kenny Lam

Dumbarton Castle by Willie Redman

Hermitage Castle by Adele Gregory

St Andrews Cathedral by Gerry Priest

Dunfermline Abbey & Palace by Ian Appleton

Melrose Abbey by Lalita Creighton

Cambuskenneth Abbey by Ester Ayerdi

How to enter:

Entrants should visit www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/photocomp where they will register. After registration they will be asked to upload their photo, inserting a location and title. They will also be asked to opt in or opt out of Historic Scotland communications. In October photos will be submitted to a judging panel and the winning photos will be chosen.

Pictures can be of places, monuments, objects, people, actors, staff or anything associated with their sites.
