Winners announced!
The two winners of the 2007 PhotoArch competition were presented with their awards at a prizegiving event at the Scottish Parliament today.
Courtney McIvor (10) from Reay, Caithness and Jason King (10) from St Monans in Fife met First Minister Alex Salmond and were presented with their prizes and certificates by Linda Fabiani, Minister for Europe, External Affairs and Culture.
Jason and Courtney's photographs were chosen from around 260 entries. Linda Fabiani said "Jason and Courtney have both captured something really wonderful in their pictures. Each shows a beautiful and tranquil snapshot of a different way of life in Scotland, even though they chose similar subjects - Jason with St Monans harbour and Courtney with the Fisherman's Bothy."
Courtney said: "I'm so glad that I won because last time I got highly commended and I finally get to go to Edinburgh. I've always wanted to come here." She added "Without our photos people will forget what old houses once looked like."
Jason said: "I was excited to win the competition and I was also happy to win it for St Monans."
Both winners received Historic Scotland Family membership, a digital camera for themselves and one for their school and framed copies of their photographs to take home.
