Scotland in the spotlight at photography show in Perth

Stunning snapshots of some of Scotland’s best known beauty spots and hidden treasures have gone on display in Perth.

The eye-catching images are entries in the inaugural Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year competition, which attracted submissions from across the globe.

Some of the winning pictures have gone on show at the Royal Geographical Society’s Perth base in Lord John Murray House as part of a nationwide tour.

The contest was the brainchild of award-winning photographer Stuart Low who believed it could help boost tourism, as well as encourage an interest in camera work.

For more than two years, he fought to get the contest off the ground.

“The competition was really tough to put together,” he said. “I knocked on a lot of doors looking for sponsors, but because my idea was only on paper it was a real struggle to get anyone interested.

“I persevered and I eventually managed to secure two sponsors, Academy Class and Hitech, who put up fantastic prizes.”

He continued: “The competition when it launched was a great success. It attracted over 2,000 entries from around the world.”

Mr Low, from Fife, has spent the last few months making exhibition prints and putting together a hardback book of more than 100 images.

Among the winners was Perth man Donald Cameron, who won the Urban category for his image of the Falkirk Wheel. Fiona Pulfrey, from Perthshire, won the junior award, and overall prize went to Craig Aitchison, of Kirkintilloch.
