Throwback Thursday... November 2016!
Remember when Oban was graced by wintery Ice Queens by Same Difference Arts? Here's the original image taken by Colin Cooper Photography, warmly welcoming you back to another notably cold Oban Winter Festival. The Oban Winter Festival Committee had credited another photographer in printed distribution & refused to rectify their misrepresentation.

Oban Pride
Proud Scotland Awards Global Pride 2020

One of the many joys of Scran, as our followers and subscribers know, is that all human (Scottish) life is there; from neolithic settlements to leisure centres, from Rabbie Burns to Lulu, we aim to document Scottish history and culture in all its diversity. And we try and showcase the breadth of Scran here on Facebook. Sometimes you get images of historic buildings or an old newspaper article. Today, by way of contrast, here's Scottish drag queen Crystal, taken at last year's inaugural Pride event in Oban. This image and many others were taken by Scottish photographer Colin Cooper and uploaded to Scran vis our Contribute facility. Like Colin, you can add your own images to Scran and at https://www.scran.ac.uk/learning/contribute/index.php
