A glimpse into Scotland through the eyes of its people—these are the standout images sent in over the past week. From striking landscapes to amusing roadside surprises, here’s what captured the attention of photographers across the country.
A Stage to Remember
Andrew Dickson shared a special moment from one of Scotland’s most iconic music venues, the Barrowlands. His son, Harry, stood alone on the legendary stage, guitar in hand, staring out at the empty auditorium. “Hopefully another 1,900 people there the next time,” Dickson said, hinting at dreams of a future packed house. The image captures the essence of an artist on the verge of something big.
Roadside Humor Near Dalwhinnie
Margaret McCool stumbled upon a sign that might bring a smile to weary travelers. Perched in a layby near Dalwhinnie, a blue road sign posed the age-old question: Are we nearly there yet? The unexpected humor against the backdrop of rolling Scottish hills made for a memorable snapshot.
Shadows and Shapes in St James Quarter
Angela Duncan turned her lens to Edinburgh’s St James Quarter, capturing its intricate architecture in black and white. The interplay between the striking glass roof and the ever-changing Scottish sky created a dynamic composition of light and shadow. “The wonderful architecture and the fabulous sky created the most pleasing shapes and shadows,” she noted.
A Dramatic Lochnagar Skyline
Sarah Sivers from Aberdeen submitted a breathtaking view of Lochnagar. The sun peeked through thick grey clouds, casting dramatic light over the mountain peaks. The image captures the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands, where the unpredictable weather only adds to the landscape’s allure.
