David Wilson Homes, part of the UK’s largest housebuilder Barratt Redrow, is marking the change in season with a search across Aberdeen city and shire for vibrant wildlife and landscape photography that celebrates the beauty of autumn.
The premium housebuilder which has developments such as The Woodlands Collection in Countesswells, Aberdeen and Otter Stone Manor in Dyce, Aberdeen is inviting both seasoned and budding photographers to capture new imagery of Scotland’s local wildlife and natural surroundings.
From bundles of amber leaves draped across woodland paths to the golden light filtering through the branches, and wildlife preparing for winter, autumn in Scotland is one of the most beautiful times of the year.
The new David Wilson Homes photography initiative launches today 9 October. It is designed to inspire local residents to pause and appreciate the natural beauty around them, while celebrating the diverse wildlife and nature that share their community.
Two runners-up and one overall winner will be selected from three areas across Scotland where David Wilson Homes builds communities, including in the North, East and West of Scotland.
David Palmer, managing director at David Wilson Homes North Scotland, said: “Scotland is one of the most scenic places in the world and home to an incredible variety of wildlife.
“It’s easy to get swept up in the pace of daily life and forget to pause and appreciate the beauty of the natural world around.
“We share our communities with hundreds of species, from birds and insects to mammals, and just like David Wilson homeowners, this wildlife calls Aberdeen home too.
“This campaign is about celebrating the wildlife that lives alongside us and capturing those special moments when we connect with nature.
“You don’t need to be a professional photographer to take part. Whether you have a keen eye or simply a passion for nature, we’re inviting everyone to get involved.”
To enter photography please share your submissions to barrattredrow@bigpartnership.co.uk along with the location where the image was captured by 19 November 2025.
