》ITINERARY

The itinerary is subject to change.

DAY ONE//

This outdoor photography tour will officially kick off in the beautiful Highland town of Inverness. Participants will be picked up between 1OAM and 11AM at their hotels (people must find their own way to Inverness prior to the workshop starting) and then, as a group, we will travel to the Isle of Skye which will be our incredible home base for most of the week. After settling in, we’ll spend the early afternoon with an official kick-off on the castle grounds with an explanation of the full week’s plan. In late afternoon, we’ll start our week with a light chase and introduction to the stunning scenery, before heading to dinner. In the evening, if conditions allow, the group will head out for a night/astro photography session.

The next day will be a huge day, so the plan is for the group to get to bed by a decent time on day one in preparation for Day Two’s travels.

DAY TWO//

On the second day, the group will wake early and meet for breakfast. We’ll set off for the famous Fairy Pools (or something similarily epic) in Glen Brittle for a morning photography session. Later in the afternoon, we’ll continue onwards to the rugged, magic Old Man of Storr. The group will spend the late afternoon right through to sunset hiking and exploring this remarkable location - one of the most dramatic in all of Scotland - before returning back to the Armadale Castle region for a late dinner. If conditions allow, we will try for an astro session that evening.

DAY THREE//

On the third day, after our daily breakfast, we’ll set off once again to explore the Isle of Skye. Potential photography stops will include exploration of The Fairy Glen (and the Fairy Castle), the Glen Sligachan Falls, and Quiraing before sunset at the famous Neist Point, the most westerly point in Skye.

DAY FOUR//

On our last full day on the Isle of Skye, we will return to the Quiraing which is one of the most incredible, picturesque areas of Skye and too impressive to fully explore in one single day. During this day we will dive into various workshop/learning opportunities, including a portrait demo, and various "human element" demos using the unique and spectacular Skye beauty as a backdrop.

DAY FIVE//

Our fifth day will be all about relocating to the Highlands. En route to Ullapool, we’ll make a stop at arguably the most beautiful castle in Scotland: Eilean Donan, a 13th-century structure near the village of Dornie. After an exploration of the shoreline around Eilean Donan, we’ll continue onwards to Ullapool, where we’ll stop for a pub lunch before heading out into the nearby countryside for an afternoon photography session.

DAY SIX//

This day will be all about exploring one of the areas of Scotland that’s most ignored by most tourists, but in our minds is one of the most beautiful - the northwestern Highlands. Heading north from the village of Ullapool, we’ll explore true Highland country, making numerous roadside stops (and dodging sheep) before coming to the area surrounding Ardvreck Castle, now a haunting collection of ruins sitting on the shores of Loch Assynt and set in stunning surroundings. The Calda House ruins are a short walk away, as are dramatic shoreline, sheep, waterfalls, and extreme beauty. Our group will spend most of the afternoon and early evening photographing this beautiful area before heading back to Ullapool for a finale dinner and evening together.

DAY SEVEN//

After a relaxing start to the morning, we’ll shuttle participants between 9AM and noon back to Inverness, where we’ll say our fond farewells.
