The Best Tour of Scotland for Photographers

As an amateur photographer, you may choose to take a photographer's tour or course that takes you to specific places to practice your photography.  Or you may have particular places that you wish to visit, so hire a car and go there yourself.  The benefits of these options are many.  You can stay as long as you want if you go yourself or you can get practical tips on a course. 



However, at The Hairy Coo we offer something a little different.  Our 2 Day tour of Scotland is perfect for landscape photographers who don't want to stay at any 1 location for hours. We will take you to see some of the best scenery in Scotland where you can practice your craft and not have to worry about driving or parking your car.  



After beautiful St Andrews where there are many photo opportunities, we stop at The Hermitage. The Hermitage is a National Trust for Scotland protected forest with a river and waterfall. You will also find Ossian's Hall which has a stunning view of the waterfall. I personally, love the Hermitage in the autumn when the leaves are changing colour and you might even see salmon leaping but it is lovely at any time of year.

Whether you are a Harry Potter fan or not, the scenery around the Glenfinnan Viaduct is stunning.  




We also visit Glencoe, Loch Ness, Pitlochry and many more places on this tour that are Instagram-worthy! If you like taking images of buildings and architecture, we visit Urquhart Castle, Pitlochry, The Commando Memorial and we stay in Inverness.

It is great that we can now take digital photography as you would need many spools for this trip.  Just make sure your batteries are fully charged. We can't promise the weather you will get on any given day as it is likely to change during our travels. However, we can promise that Scotland is worth photographing in all weathers and during all seasons.

We hope to see you soon.

How to Travel Solo in Scotland

  Scotland is known for being rugged and beautiful. It is also widely known for tartan, whisky, and shortbread.  But it is worth visiting and is it safe to do so as a solo traveller? Scotland is a small country with most of the population living in the central belt, in or near the largest cities, Edinburgh and Glasgow. As soon as you travel to the Borders, Highlands or Islands it becomes much quieter and sparsely populated. Many travellers, especially young people, will be travelling around Europe and will often only spend a couple of days in Edinburgh. This is a great thing to do and it will give you a flavour of Scotland. You will see Edinburgh Castle and the beautiful old buildings, and the hills beyond.   Edinburgh is the capital city but it is also quite a small city on a global scale. Travellers will feel safe here.   It is not perfect but it is safe to walk around by yourself, even at night. Unlike other European cities, it is not known for pickpockets, an...
