Photography Competition

Win a £200 McKinlay Kidd holiday voucher

Do you have a picture that shows how you’ve seen Scotland or Ireland differently? We’d love to see them – and there’s £200 McKinlay Kidd holiday voucher for the best one. Our competition is open until 31st October 2013, so you can use a picture from a previous trip, or maybe from a McKinlay Kidd 2012 or 2013 holiday.

The winning entry from 2011 and a selection of the best entries for Scotland are featured on this page.

The winning picture was taken by Francesca Boyle in August 2011 and shows a beach on the island of Vatersay, next to Barra in the Outer Hebrides. Thank you to everyone who entered the competition this year. A larger number of pictures can be seen on our facebook page.
