Wild Scotland Photo Expedition

From mist-draped mountains and mirror-like lochs to windswept coastlines and ancient castles, Scotland offers endless inspiration behind the lens. Photo Expedition Leader Warwick Lister-Kaye previews our NEW Wild Scotland Photo Expedition, where golden-hour shoots, remote locations and a small group create unparalleled opportunities to capture the Highlands and Hebrides. Learn about the places we visit to photograph Scotland’s landscapes and search for wildlife like red deer, sea eagles and river otters, and discover how we tailor this itinerary to nature photographers.

Each spring, the corncrake flies 4,000 miles from the Congo Basin to Scotland’s Hebrides — one of the last places it can still be heard calling through the night. But threats to the machair grasslands, which sustain corncrake flocks, could imperil the species. Expedition Leader Simon McLaughlin explores this remarkable migration as he discusses how conservationists and crofters (farmers who work small plots called crofts) are teaming up to conserve vital grasslands and protect the corncrake while safeguarding Scotland’s ancient agricultural traditions.

From windswept cliffs and seabird colonies to ancient stone circles and misty glens, Scotland’s Highlands and islands stir the imagination. Join Expedition Leader Warwick Lister-Kaye for an inside look at the wildlife and landscapes we meet on our Scotland adventures, from puffins and whales to sea eagles and Scottish red deer. The new itinerary includes two full days on the legendary Isle of Skye, exploring the quieter southern Sleat Peninsula. Hike uncrowded coastal trails and experience the culture and natural wonders that define this storied land.
