A Break-away Society

Midlothian Photogrpahic Association

1907

Archibald Hugh MacLucas was a prominent Member of Edinburgh Photogrpahic Society for many years  -  but in 1907, he and several other Members broke away form EPS for eight years.

The controversy arose over  EPS's decision not to join the Scottish Photographic Federation.  

The Members who broke away formed their own society, with a full programme of events.  Many possible names were suggested for the  new society. 

The one chosen was Midlothian Photographic Association.
