Coasts and water pictures wanted for special calendar

Budding photographers are being urged to submit their snaps for a celebratory calendar to mark Scotland’s Year of Coasts & Waters.

Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) is calling on people to share their favourite pictures of Scotland’s rivers, coasts, seas, lochs and canals.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, SNH said the calendar will help to continue the campaign – which is run by VisitScotland and other public bodies – through into next year.
