"A wonderful day out at Kitchen Coos and Ewes, Dumfries and Galloway for a birthday treat. A ride up into the fields to see these magnificent animals then back to the farmhouse for afternoon tea. Just the perfect day❣️"

3. Laura Mackenzie

"Ossian the #northerninuitdog at #dunnetbay beach at sunset on the #summersolstice sunset 10:27pm NNW, with 2 miles of beautiful silver sand and dunes almost to ourselves 🤫"

4. Mike Goodwin

"Clachan Sands on North Uist looking out towards Berneray and the Isle of Harris. This was taken during our island hopping trip along the Outer Hebrides from Vatersay to Lewis and then Skye. Fifteen beautiful islands in total."

"I was asked recently why I would want to go up the east coast rather than west, hmmm.....no reason 😉"

6. Double Saltire by Candice Bell

"Loch Sgamhain, Achnasheen in October. Just by chance the vapour trails crossed and were reflected in the water, I entitled the photograph 'Double Saltire'”

7. Susan Cook

At Vatersay beach in July last year - perfect weather and the dogs loved swimming in the azure seas.

8. Ricki in Scotland

"Bridge of Alvah in Banff"

9. Harry Ho

"When the summer sun finally makes an appearance in Glasgow, everyone collective heads for the green. I spent this beautiful, warm afternoon wandering through Kelvingrove Park, finding this perfect vantage point looking out toward the University of Glasgow.

"Love how the hill was alive with chatter, music, and people just soaking up the rare warmth, yet everyone still found their own quiet pocket of peace in the middle of the city."

10. Janie Thomson

"Always worth a quick #gallivant to Portencross as the sun is going down. 21 June 2026."
