Winning images from 10th Scottish landscape awards

Ian Bowie's image of boats at Loch Ruskie was part of his overall prize-winning portfolio.

The winners of the 10th Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards have been announced.

Edinburgh-based Ian Bowie was chosen by the judges as this year’s overall winner.

His portfolio of images included Travelling Without Moving, an atmospheric shot of boats at Loch Ruskie in the Trossachs.

Mr Bowie, who also won the environmental award, said: "This recognition holds a special place in my heart as it highlights the absolute best of the Scottish landscape and those that capture the single moment in time."

Jane Lee won the creative category with her image called Colours of Harris

The awards attracted 4,000 entries from the UK and overseas.

Founder Stuart Low said: "When I set up the awards 10 years ago, my aim was to showcase our beautiful places and promote our country.

"Every year we receive stunning images from the most popular locations in Scotland, but this year the theme was to see more images from lesser known places and more of our natural heritage, and the photographers didn’t disappoint."

He added: "Our environment is so precious that we need photographers to record what we have in the hope that it will inspire others to cherish and protect what we have in generations to come."
