Foraging
The real beauty of foraging is it helps you connect to a landscape in a whole new way. It gives you reason to lie in the grass, to poke your fingers through the earth in search of a pignut, to scramble over rocks and pick through layers of dulse - mix it with the random weavings of a forage in the forest and you have the ideal antidote to nature-detached-modernity, a perfect little moment of wild escape.

Kayaking
An alternative way to explore the Loch, but be careful it requires a higher level of skill than canoeing – you definitely want to avoid a dip in the Loch!
Hill Walking
Scotland has unrivaled countryside with ragged hills and we can help you explore this.
From Corbetts to Munros to more gentle climbs, we can provide guided hill walks, customised to your needs.
Why not reach the heights of Ben Lomond, Ben Venue and elsewhere?
