#ScotNational Photo Challenge: Your photos on the theme of Spring
Every week we ask our readers to tag us in their Instagram photos on a weekly theme of our choosing. Last week the theme was Spring. Thanks to everyone who submitted an entry!
You can take part in this weeks theme, which is European Countries! Just upload your photos to Instagram and tag them with #ScotNational. We share a new entry every day of the week.
We'll be running this week's theme alongside our special "Wha's Like Us series, looking at small European countries similar to Scotland.
As always, you can show our contributors from last week some love by following their accounts below!

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
