Scottish Photographers is a group of amateur, student and professional photographers, which encourages and supports individuals in the practice of independent photography as a creative medium and for personal expression, acting to bring together and create communicative links between photographers.
We have two hundred and fifteen (Jan 09) members, living literally the length and breadth of Scotland with several in England, one each in Canada, Czechoslovakia, America and Eire. You don't have to be Scottish to become a member.
