Scottish National Portrait Gallery

January 2026

Weather - Rainy and horrible, hence the indoor venue 

Optional theme - Warmth - Cue lots of photos of radiators!  

Refreshments - Portrait gallery CafĂ© - Pricey, but very good. The chai latte was excellent. 

Sandra found a lovely detail in the stonework

Ada photographed the warm colours of the lanterns in the main hallway

Beryl photographed the warm colours of the historical mural


Colin captured this very architectural radiator 

Dorothy found a warm spotlight illuminating the brickwork

Eileen found warm colours in a collection  of pencils

For Ian, warmth came from an umber lampshade

Kate reminded us that we were in a portrait gallery by photographing this colourful portrait of Nicola Benedetti 

Bonus photo

Alex was inspired by the exhibition "Alfred Buckham, Daredevil Photographer" to create this composite from his own photos
