Come Away to Scotland
Join a small group of writers, artists, photographers and other creatives on expedition to the remote southwest coast of Scotland. Our purpose is to soak up the natural beauty, culture, and food of the region with all of our senses. And capture the essence of the place in words and images. Our destination is the village of Tighnabruiach, located on the Cowal peninsula, on the western arm of the Kyles of Bute. The price for this adventure is $5,500 CAD (tax included). Accommodation, local transportation, most meals and activities included in the price. May 8-15, 2026.
Come Away to Newfoundland
Newfoundland hospitality is in a class of its own. As are the landscape, wildlife, food, music, literature and cultural traditions of this unique part of the world. I can’t wait to share it with you next summer.
We’ll make ourselves at home at Neddies Harbour Inn, right on the ocean and within the boundary of Gros Morne National Park. We’ll hike the Tablelands where the earth’s crust is close to the surface, cruise the land locked fiord that is Western Brook Pond, encounter wildlife, forage for wild food, spend time with locals to learn about aboriginal traditions, settler history, and the unique culture that makes this part of the world unique.
As with all our Expeditions, you can expect a high standard of lodging and food. The price for this adventure is $6,200 CAD (tax included). Accommodation, activities, guides and most meals are included in the price of the trip. It would be wonderful to have you join our party. August 15-22, 2026.
