In 2024, we asked our followers to tell us their story of Scotland’s wildlife and wild places in no more than 1,000 words.
We had a fantastic response, with over 500 entries submitted, and were blown away by the quality, originality and passion that people put into them – a huge thanks to all the budding authors who sent us their story.
The winners were announced at our 60th anniversary celebration event at the Scottish Parliament in November. Congratulations to all our winners, runners up and shortlisted writers.
