The RPS Scotland Region is geographically the largest region in the RPS and supports over 700 RPS members. We aim to offer both regional and local events to engage with members across the whole Region.
Currently our key offerings include Distinction Advisory Days, Local Photoforums, and Share and Support Days. We curate an annual print exhibition to showcase members work which is shown at venues throughout the region. In addition, we acknowledge the achievements of our members at an annual Celebration of Distinctions where successful members are invited to show and talk about their work. We have a team of Local Area Representatives who are encouraged to organise local meetings and outings support members who may not wish to travel to more distant locations.
Overall, our emphasis is on enjoying the photography and providing the opportunity to meet up with other members to increase our knowledge and understanding.
RPS Scotland has its own closed Facebook group, which is the best way to keep in touch and stay updated. You’ll find regular event posts, photos, and conversations with other members there. To join, you’ll just need to confirm your RPS Scotland membership when you request access. RPS Scotland Group
Discover From Land — A Landmark RPS Scotland Project
Official Launch: Saturday 29th November, Annandale Distillery, Annan
Join us at Annandale Distillery on Saturday 29th November for the official launch of From Land — an ambitious, year-long photographic project from The Royal Photographic Society Scotland.
Set within one of Scotland’s most atmospheric heritage venues, this special afternoon marks the beginning of a major creative journey celebrating Scotland’s people, wildlife, and working landscapes — from the Borders to the Isles, and from rural glens to city skylines.
From Land tells a story of connection, tradition, and transformation — from generational gamekeepers and working dogs to urban communities, shifting habitats, and the evolving balance between land and people. It will run throughout 2026, inviting photographers from every background and discipline to document the changing face of Scotland — both its natural and built environments.
The project will culminate in a major publication and exhibition, creating a lasting visual archive of Scotland’s landscapes and custodians — a record of how our country looks, feels, and works at this moment in time. A historical record of 2026, to revisit at a later date.
At the Annandale launch, you’ll be the first to hear the full vision for From Land — how it began, how to take part, and how your work could feature in this extraordinary national collaboration. You’ll also meet others who share a passion for photography, storytelling, and Scotland’s ever-changing environment.
Tickets are £30 per person, including a distillery tour, behind-the-scenes access, whisky tasting (or driver’s alternative), commemorative glass, lanyard, and refreshments.
Spaces are limited — so don’t miss your chance to be part of this remarkable, forward-looking project from the very beginning.
Book your place now and join us at Annandale Distillery — where Scotland’s story begins From Land.
