Top 10 Lessons & Workshops in Scottish Highlands, Scotland

July 8, 2021 Kelli Reichel

The moody, romantic Scottish Highlands start at Loch Lomond just north of Glasgow. Comprising a slew of mountain ranges, this sparsely populated land is best seen by train on the West Highland Line. Mountains, lochs, bright heather and rhododendrons give way to white sand beaches and rugged coves as the train nears Mallaig. For a more active take on the region, hike the West Highland Way or visit the Trossachs National Park. Ben Nevis, a popular climbing spot, looms over the town of Fort William.

I have done 2 courses with Wooden Tom and absolutely loved both of them. The first was when I was just getting into woodworking, and it taught me lots, including an immense amount of advice on how to get on from there. When I did my second course I was a bit more practiced, and I found that Wooden Tom tweaks his courses so that both beginners and slightly more advanced people can enjoy the workshop - going away with increased knowledge and skills no matter what their level is! Would 100% recommend, whether you're completely new to woodwork or an expert already. Sure a new perspective can always teach you lots more? Do it!

I did the 3 day multi environment survival course at weekend and had an amazing time. The course exceeded exceeded my expectations, I learnt loads and enjoyed every minute. I feel more confident now that I have the knowledge, skills, tools in my rucksack and what resources are around me when I am out going up and down Munros and generally out in the wild. A massive thank you to Derek, Abi and Graham who ran the course. Their knowledge, experience and the great mix of theory and practical examples was perfect. Would highly recommend this course to anyone who spends time outdoors. On top of all this I really enjoyed the 3 days and putting in to practice what I had learnt. I hope I don't need to use some of what I have learnt but if the need arises I know it might save my life or those I am with. Lots of what I learnt I have already used to amend my kit list or cant wait to put into practice on my next trip.

Highland Photography Workshops by Karen Thorburn Photography

Join me in Scotland's great outdoors to develop your landscape photography skills. I run single day workshops for up to four people in the following locations: The Black Isle near Inverness; the Isle of Skye; Wester Ross and Torridon; and Assynt and Coigach. I also offer bespoke photography workshops in a location of your choice. Learn from tutorials, one-to-one tuition in the field and critique sessions which will be delivered in a positive way with the intention of inspiring you, as opposed to denting your confidence! My workshops are suited to beginners and more experienced photographers alike. I believe that the photographer is more important than the camera and so I will help you to improve your skills regardless of the technology you are using. The emphasis will be on perfecting your images in-camera as opposed to in post-production.

We booked a photography day course with Karen and we loved it. We are have different levels of knowledge and interest when it comes to photography and Karen catered for all of us brilliantly. We all had a great day. We learned lots and it was fun! Would highly recommend. My only regret is that I did not do it sooner!
