Homecoming Scotland 2009

Homecoming Scotland 2009 has now finished.

Inspired by the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, Homecoming Scotland 2009 extended an invitation to Scotland's people at home and abroad to reconnect with our great country. Throughout the year and across the country, more than 400 events provided a special Homecoming welcome. Thank you for your support.

'Seal in the Sun' by Alison Muray


My shot was taken in Argyll near Kilberry looking across the Sound of Jura.  I particularly liked the way the light was catching the snow covered Pap of Jura and the rock in the foreground which seemed to be the same shape as the mountain.

The fact that the seal had climbed his own mountain and was enjoying the view made it for me.  You can't beat Scotland for beauty in isolated places.

The chair of our judging panel, Andy Hall, commended this photograph for its 'perfect composition, timing and lighting.'
