Snap
a bit of Highland Heritage - Photo Competition
Planning
is already underway for the Highland Archaeology Festival, the huge
celebration of Highland heritage which takes place in October,
organised by The Highland Council. New this year is a chance to capture
a bit of Highland Heritage in the HAF2017 photographic competition.
The competition invites people to submit one or two pictures which
celebrate Highland archaeology, history or heritage. Highland Council
Archaeologist Kirsty Cameron explains: "It could be a monument in the
landscape, a building, an object in a museum or people enjoying our
varied heritage - there's so much to choose from. We've kept it simple,
with entries invited from under 16s and over 16s."
