Red Roofs of Scotland Competition Winners

After six months, 162 entrants and 360+ photos submitted, Highland Cinema is pleased to announce the winners of its 2022 ‘Red Roofs of Scotland’ photography competition! All 20 winning photos are now on display in the cinema for all to see.

The judges chose Peter Rose’s entry ‘Loch a Bhàigh, Berneray’ as the overall winner, with a prize of £500 sponsored by The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh. His stunning, vibrant photo depicts a garden shed with a red roof sitting amongst restored croft buildings, in Berneray in the Outer Hebrides. The vivid red roof stands out in its tiny hamlet, looking out across the tidal Loch a Bhàigh towards the island’s harbour and beyond to North Uist.

Second prize has been awarded to Francesca Rose, for her captivating and atmospheric forest photo ‘Multilevel Roof’. Taken on the Brackletter Road between Spean Bridge and Fort William while Francesca was looking for a different roof entirely, this happy find wins her £300, sponsored by Highland Cinema.

Third prize goes to Innes Newton for his panorama ‘A Charming View’, capturing a famous red roof in Wester Ross in beautiful conditions. The warm light, mountains, cottage and wonderful view together encapsulate a perfect enchanting traditional Highland landscape. The third prize of £200 is sponsored by Resipole Studios and Fine Art Gallery, Acharacle.

In addition to the three winners, 17 runners-up were also chosen, each of whom wins £100, sponsored by Angus MacDonald, the owner of Highland Cinema. All 20 winner and runner-up photos have been printed and are now on display at Highland Cinema for the public to see and enjoy!

With so many great entries, the judges had a hard time choosing their favourites and an even tougher time picking out the runners up from a huge selection of fantastic entries. In a remarkable turn of events, first and second prizes have been awarded to father / daughter entrants Peter Rose and Francesca Rose, after a completely blind review of all entries by the five judges.
