Photography and Wildlife Break

Capture the spirit of the inner Hebrides with professional photographer Ben Shakespeare on our three-night photography break at Another Place, The Machrie on the isle of Islay. Get to know this unique island - as well as your camera - as you explore the mediums of landscape and wildlife photography, refining your composition, lighting and other technical skills. Back at the hotel, there’ll be post-production and editing alongside your fellow photographers, as well as plenty of time to kick back and relax. Spend Saturday exploring Islay’s stunning coastal landscapes with a lunchtime visit to one of Islay's world-renowned whisky distilleries, before ending with a sunset beach fire and astrophotography session. On Sunday, take a wildlife boat tour to spot sea eagles, dolphins, and otters, followed by a visit to the Mull of Oa RSPB reserve. There'll also be plenty of time to relax at the hotel and sample some fresh local seafood.
