Photography Workshops
The West Highland Peninsulas of Ardgour, Ardnamurchan, Moidart, Morvern and Sunart have a landscape that is made up of rugged mountains, dramatic coastlines, gorgeous beaches, beautiful seawater and freshwater lochs, heather moorland and ancient woodlands. It is a landscape that is bathed in stunning light during the daytime and sits under skies that are so dark at night that you can clearly see the Milky Way. This makes this place a photographer’s paradise.
Do you want to capture some of the beauty of the landscape across the Peninsulas? Then why not have local landscape photographer, Steven Marshall help you. He offers the following to beginner and intermediate photographers:

Staffa Trips
The Isle of Staffa is a beautiful uninhabited island, famous for its dramatic basalt columns, sea caves and bird life. Over the years it has captivated thousands of people including Queen Victoria, Walter Scott and Jules Verne.
Fingals Cave is always splendid and atmospheric with its basalt columns formed during volcanic activity 59 million years ago. Puffins can be seen ashore in season as well as shags, oystercatchers and black guillemots. If you’re lucky you might see otters, porpoise, dolphins, even a basking shark or whale!
