For 2025, I aim to maintain flexibility and have decided not to set specific dates. Last year, I encountered many conflicts with other business commitments, particularly my beloved tours. If you’re interested, please reach out with a date in mind, and we'll work together to make it happen!

Our base for the course will be Aberfoyle, The Trossachs.
The Trossachs glen lies between Ben A'an to the north and Ben Venue to the south, with Loch Katrine to the west and Loch Achray to the east.
These days it’s grown a little, now The Trossachs form part of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, which was established in 2002. Locals claim to be in The Trossachs from Inversnaid to Callander and of course Aberfoyle.
It is however one of the most beautiful areas in Scotland, and that says a lot!.
