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. |
