The mission: put down the bevy, pick-up the camera and bring a bit of festive cheer by photographing Scotland leaving 2012 behind. Witness the renewal of friendships, goodwill being shown to neighbours and strangers alike, and reflect a desire for better times ahead. Document Scotland wishes all our colleagues and the wider Scottish photography community an inspiring and successful 2013.
Document Scotland photographers Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert , Sophie Gerrard , Colin McPherson and Stephen McLaren braved the elements to put together a portfolio of images summing up Scotland at Christmas and Hogmanay.
