Photography holiday

Scotland • The Highlands

Highland highlights
This two-centre holiday, based in Pitlochry and Glencoe, is planned for the best autumn colour in the spectacular Highlands. Atmospheric misty mornings, magnificent mountain scenery, dramatic castles and tumbling waterfalls are sure to remain in your memory for years.

Some of our days

Arrival day

We gather late in the afternoon for a relaxed discussion of the week's itinerary. There will be time to answer technical questions and make sure everyone's cameras are set up correctly. After dinner the tutor will show a selection of his work and talk through some of the techniques to be employed during the week.

Spectacular autumnal views

After an early breakfast it's off to Loch Tummel to capture the golden autumn foliage, hopefully reflected in the still waters of the loch.We will pass some of Perthshire’s most spectacular scenery on our way through Glen Lyon to Loch Tay.

Dramatic waterfalls

With many of Scotland's rivers in spate this is the ideal time to capture dramatic waterfalls surrounded by colourful foliage. We will visit several falls in the area.

Transfer day

We leave at dawn and travel slowly west through inspiring Highland scenery, with stops en-route to arrive at our next base near Glencoe well in time for sunset.

Wild Highland landscapes

Up before dawn to capture sunrise over the wild and remote Rannoch Moor. Later we explore Glencoe, ending up at Loch Etive in time for sunset. The evening will be spent reviewing images.

Coast and Castles

Another early start beginning with the atmospheric ruins of Kilchurn Castle and the tumbling waters of the River Orchy. The afternoon takes us through Glencoe and along the coast to Castle Stalker.

Transfer day

After another dawn shoot we will enjoy a leisurely trip back to Pitlochry, again stopping at various photogenic locations. In the evening we round off the week with a final review of our images.
