Rural Community Gateway

The deadline for December's competition has been brought forward to 10th December 2007. Please note this will be your last chance to enter the 'Living in rural Scotland' competition. All 12 of our monthly winners will go head to head in an online poll at the end of the year, so you can decide the overall winner.

And the winner is . . .

If you click on the photo to see a larger version, you will be able to see people in the background also enjoying the show.

You can read more about the photo and what Xander thought of his deep fried snack in November photo competition winner - Fried of Scotland.
