Kintyre and The Isle of Arran

Because of its shape, Kin­tyre has two very dif­fer­ent coast­lines. To the west where the sun sets there are sandy beach­es with gin clear waters that look out over to the isles of Jura and Islay. The east­ern coast­line is only accessed by small ​‘B’ roads and is a haven of won­der­ful rock for­ma­tions on many rocky bays that look out over the calm water of the Kil­bran­nan Sound and offer the best views of the Isle of Arran from any­where in Scotland.

We will vis­it both the coast­lines dur­ing our time on Kin­tyre and explore, Skip­ness, Claon­aig and Grog­port along with Ronachan, Chleit and West­port Bay as well as ven­ture into the ancient forests above Car­radale and at Kil­ber­ry. If you are look­ing for a work­shop that takes you off the beat­en track to find images that nobody else will have then this is the work­shop that will cer­tain­ly satisfy.

From the tiny port of Claon­aig, we will take the short half hour fer­ry ride over to the beau­ti­ful Isle of Arran. Land­ing at Lochran­za, we will take the pass over Glen Chal­madale to the coast at San­nox then trav­el south to pho­to­graph the amaz­ing rock struc­tures at Cor­rie Bay. No vis­it to the Isle of Arran would be com­plete with­out head­ing fur­ther onwards to the south­ern tip of the Isle to the Sands of Kil­do­nan from where you will see the amaz­ing pyra­mid Isle of Ail­sa Craig and from here we will explore the Arran Coastal Way.

You will be spend­ing plen­ty of time out with your cam­era where you will get plen­ty of 1 to 1 tuition with Paul and Michael that will include both tech­ni­cal aspects of land­scape pho­tog­ra­phy as well as the art of good composition.
