Digital images can sometimes be hard to find. Millions are posted to photo hosting sites every day. In order to keep track of them it is recommended that they be tagged. A tag can be added when uploading to a photo sharing site such as flickr.

East Lothian Council uses the tag "elcouncil" which is unique to the authority. Below are links to images currently tagged "elcouncil".
