Based in the village of Aberfoyle on the edge of the highlands criss-crossed with various walks, fairy tales, and wild foods and medicines hidden in the hedgerows. Join me on a walk to discover the hidden gems of the Scottish countryside. A different way to connect with Scotland, learning plant folklore, traditional Gaelic plants names and stories, history of plant use in Scotland and their current usage. The ways plants have been used and the stories around them give you an insight into the culture of the people in Scotland. An unforgettable sensory experience which will leave you hunting in the lanes and hedgerows back home.
