A couple of months ago DK posted about a plan by Historic Scotland to provide a "photographer's permit" membership and to discuss the idea with their English counterpart English Heritage. I doubt if anything will be happening yet, but what is the current situation with photographs on EH property? I was prompted to consider this when I visited one last week and was encouraged to join EH. It seems like a good deal and I'm tempted to do so, but there would not be much point if photography is restricted and its use policed in the way the NT do. There are plenty of unreleased shots on Alamy taken on EH property so can I assume that EH have a relaxed attitude to editorial use, or have they just not got round to sending threatening letters to Alamy yet?
