About the Scotland Region

As a large region we try to appeal to members all over Scotland with events from North of Inverness to South of Edinburgh. We try to have as many events as members wish with Distinction Advisory Days, informal constructive feedback days, Celebrations of Distinctions, a Travelling Print Exhibition, Lecture Series, and the Dunfermline Weekend every second year. The Region encourages as many special interest groups as wish to participate in it. We aim to be informal and welcoming. For any further information, just drop me an email or call (07881856294 - but as I am a working GP, I may not always be able to answer straight away).

Picture of the Week

Forth Bridge by Andrew Cowie/ Kenneth Ness ARPS

The Forth Bridge is a cantilever railway bridge across the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland. It is considered as a symbol of Scotland and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was designed by the English engineers Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker and was opened on 4 March 1890.

This photograph was taken by Andrew Cowie of Cowie & Govan, Photographers, of South Street, St Andrews in roughly 1948. Andrew died in 1980 from Leukaemia aged 43. This slide is a testament to the durability of Kodachrome films that little repair was needed.
