Our non-photographic husbands would like to come with us and spend their days hill walking. Featured on the BBC Holiday programme, it is now in the hands of new, younger owners, John and Gail Gravett, who have made great efforts to make a good enterprise even better. There is in-house processing, and digital facilities have also been provided. Braithwaite is a good centre for walking, and some really good hill days are accessible without use of transport, with many more only a short drive away.
Accommodation is available, and there is a full evening social programme too.
As a lecturer in photography and frequent traveller, I can throughly recommend the Inversnaid Photography Centre , Scotland. Overlooking Loch Lomond, the Centre is located in a former hunting lodge, within its own 50 acre nature reserve. The Lodge has been beautifully restored and has water supplied from its own natural spring. I visited the Centre with a group of friends a couple of years ago. The centre runs workshops with experienced photographers on location.
