Hudghton wins accolade for second successive year

A spectacular photograph of Loch Kishorn, Wester Ross, from the Applecross to Ardarroch Road, taken by SNP President  Ian Hudghton MEP, has been selected for inclusion in the prestigious calendar for 2008 produced by the Brussels-based  "Parliament Magazine".

Each year the 785 MEPs are invited to submit photographs which they have taken, to be considered for publication in the calendar, which will be circulated all over the European Union.

Commenting, Mr Hudghton said

"Scotland is spectacularly beautiful and I enjoy taking photographs on my travels, while on holiday and on constituency business around the country.

"I am delighted that once again my entry has been selected. With thousands of calendars circulating across the 27 member states of the EU, I hope that it will help to encourage people to visit our shores and enjoy for themselves the many attractions that modern Scotland offers."
