      Back to the Wild

      These trips combine practical instruction in wild places as well as relaxed discussion sessions back at the accommodation. With small groups of 8 – 10 people, much of the photography coaching is offered on a one-to-one basis.

      These trips are graded at a reasonable Green 3 and walking is conducted at an easy pace. However, as the terrain can still be rough even at low level in these wild and beautiful locations a reasonable level of fitness and sure-footedness is still required.

              The Bottom Line

              I thoroughly enjoyed my trip with Wilderness Scotland. The end to end experience was professional, comfortable and seamless. Colin is a wonderful tour guide. Apart from his photographic prowess, Colin looked after us so well - nothing was too much trouble. I had an average level of competency when I started the trip - by the end I came away feeling much more confident about so many aspects of photography, from gear selection through to post processing. Thank you Wilderness Scotland and Colin.
