Have you seen any interesting animals, plants or other living things in your area? Photos may depict wildlife in unlikely locations or demonstrate how wildlife has adapted to urban environments. You might want to look at very small living things as well as those that re bigger. Remember, wildlife can be found everywhere if you look in the right places. Photos must depict Scotland’s urban environments.

Scotland’s coastline is vast, including the 780+ islands, and it rightly deserves its own category. Is there a beach, cliff top, island, seascape or marine wildlife you like? Photos must depict coast and marine environments in Scotland.
