RPS Scotland

 

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.

Nocturne Weekend with Andrew Allan 2/3 October

Nocturne Weekend – Night Sky Photography at Garvault House - 2/3 Oct 26

Step away from the noise, slow the pace, and immerse yourself in darkness that truly glows.

Nocturne is an intimate weekend dedicated to night sky photography, hosted at the beautifully remote Garvault House Hotel in the Scottish Highlands. Led by Andrew Allan – Scotland’s Night Sky, this exclusive experience offers the rare opportunity to photograph under some of the darkest skies in the UK, with expert guidance throughout.

Across two carefully curated days and nights, you’ll have the chance to:

  • Photograph the Milky Way beneath exceptionally dark Highland skies

  • Experience the potential for Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) during your stay

  • Receive hands-on night sky photography guidance in a relaxed, supportive setting

  • Explore daytime photographic opportunities, including local landscapes, flora, fauna, and wildlife

With exclusive use of Garvault House for workshop attendees, numbers are intentionally limited to maintain a calm, immersive atmosphere and plenty of personal support. Comfortable accommodation, excellent food, and time to connect with fellow photographers are all part of the experience.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your night-sky practice or simply want time and space to create in extraordinary surroundings, Nocturne promises inspiration, connection, and unforgettable skies.

📩 For any further information, please message Sam at
scotlandevents@rps.org

Spaces are limited — early booking is strongly recommended.
