THE Herald, in proud partnership with Royal Bank of Scotland, invited the country’s photographers to enter their most accomplished work in a competition to celebrate the launch of the new £10 banknote design.
This year’s competition theme was “Scotland’s Skies” and entrants had a chance of winning £1,000 in Barrhead Travel vouchers to take them to their dream photographic destination.
The prize also included a professional photography lesson with a highly experienced Herald photographer.
Have a look at some of the stunning entries in our picture gallery above.
We are delighted to present our winning image, submitted by Alan Butterfield, entitled “West Beach Aurora.”
Alan's stunning image was taken at Lossiemouth West Beach.
The finalists were chosen by The Herald's Editor-in-Chief Donald Martin, Herald Editor Graeme Smith, Group Multimedia Editor Craig Alexander and Royal Bank of Scotland’s Scottish Board chairman, Malcolm Buchanan.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
