Here we list places where photographers can
photograph Autumn Colours in Scotland. This is the start of a list that we hope
will both grow over time and hopefully we will be able to add more columns or
information.
Because many of our woodlands are looked after
by large organisations, who like to update their websites a lot, we have used
the website column in this case to determine which woodland is looked after by
which organisation. The two main organisations for Scotland are the Scottish
Forestry Commission and the Woodlands Trust. If there is a hyperlink in this
column, that goes to a website specifically for that woodland, so you can go
direct. Otherwise visit the website link, provided below, of the organisation
and then in their search put the name of the place you are interested in to find
out more about that woodland.
Where the names in the first column is hyperlinked
this links to one of our Location pages, with more information on and over time more of these will be added, we will be delighted if some of
you would like to also produce location pages.
