10 Shopping in Scottish Highlands That You Shouldn't Miss
The moody, romantic Scottish Highlands start at Loch Lomond just north of Glasgow. Comprising a slew of mountain ranges, this sparsely populated land is best seen by train on the West Highland Line. Mountains, lochs, bright heather and rhododendrons give way to white sand beaches and rugged coves as the train nears Mallaig. For a more active take on the region, hike the West Highland Way or visit the Trossachs National Park. Ben Nevis, a popular climbing spot, looms over the town of Fort William.

We were staying at Croft 103 which is on the north side of the village of Laid. Lotte is a very talented and creative artist. She has over the years populated her 14 acres with some of her art work. You are free and encouraged to wander the Croft and be surprised and amused at the artwork she has placed and hidden here and there in the vegetation. Well worth the trip and ti,e to wander.

This is a unique and captivating place, a gallery of beauty and stillness. To go there is to be enriched by the atmosphere, the power of the artwork and the building itself, which is a converted chapel with a minstrels' gallery and stained glass windows. Outside the property there is an amazing bronze (?) creature climbing the wall: it is half the height of the wall, a lizard or a salamander perhaps. The door to the chapel is ancient wood with texture and detail of particular beauty. Inside there is a log stove and classical music softly acting as backdrop and focus, with comfy chairs to settle on and think. It's a place where you feel welcomed and can take as much time as you like to let the visual spell settle into your skin. The artwork itself is stunning: some absolutely wonderful paintings, sculpture and ceramics, displayed with enough space around each to let it breathe. I am not a wealthy person but I felt the pieces I liked best were both affordable and worth every penny of their advertised price. This is a marvellous place. You can go there and come out enriched without buying a single thing. But you know you will go back, and already there are things there you are thinking hard about, and that you know you want. You are hooked.

I recently attended the Introduction to Glass Fusing course with Anne, what a tremendous day I had! Anne had worked hard to ensure the studio adhered to all Covid safety guidelines. Masks were worn and sanitizer was readily available. Where possible, tutorials and showing examples of fusingmediums and materials we would sit outside, socially distance so we could be mask free for a wee while. I managed to produce several items of which I am proud. Will definitely be making more! Anne is an excellent tutor, extremely knowledgable and enthusiastic. I can highly recommend this course. Y
