Destination summary
One of the most stunning and infamous Glen’s in Scotland and one that’s become a mecca for photographers, climbers and hikers that roam its peaks, valleys and trails.
For me Glencoe always conjures up visions of swirling mist around mountain peaks caught in the clouds.
With nearby Rannoch Moor and Glen Etive also offering evocative Highland scenes, these also deserve to be explored and photographed.
During your two days on this Glencoe workshop you’ll be taken to some of the best spots and advised how to maximise the potential at each location.
At the end of the first day’s sessions we’ll visit a local Highland pub for a bite to eat and drink and review your days work.
