Send us your pictures of Scotland

We're looking for your photographs from around Scotland.

You send them to us and we'll include a selection on the weekly picture gallery published every Friday on the BBC Scotland news website and social media platforms.

They don't have to be related to a news story - they could be a local landmark, a gathering of friends - anything really that depicts life in Scotland.

BBC Scotland weather presenters are also looking for your pictures of weather scenes from around Scotland to use on television.

However, the photo must have been taken by you (or a family member, who has given permission for it to be sent in).

And if you send in photographs of children, we must have written permission from a parent or guardian of every child featured (a grandparent, auntie or friend will not suffice).

Email your pictures to scotlandpictures@bbc.co.uk

Please give us your name, where you live and brief details about the photographs.

If you want to send your picture from your mobile phone, email them to the same address as above. You can send them from any network or phone.

If you would like your image to be included in the weekly picture gallery, please make sure it is a minimum size of 976x549 pixels.

You can also tell us what you think of the week's pictures on the BBC Scotland News Facebook page.
