Nobody can deny it has been a busy year across the north – and amazingly Covid-19 has not been the only story in town, even if it has felt like that at times, especially as we get set to start 2022 with more restrictions imposed, at least in the short term.
Whatever was happening in 2021, however, our photographers were there to capture it.
From the return of sports and music events to protests to, sometimes, just the simple joy of living, all the images captured here – and many others besides – represent a glimpse into our collective community life and a way of telling our own stories to ourselves. Quite fitting given that 2022 has been officially designated Scotland’s Year of Stories.
Maybe some of the images here will spark memories for you, perhaps you took part in some of the events captured.
For others it might give you some ideas for things to do and get involved in in the year to come.
We hope they will bring you some pleasure and a chance to reflect anyway – and that you will continue to journey with us into 2022 and beyond.
