What This Experience Is

This is not a photography workshop.

And it’s not a rushed sightseeing tour.

It’s a private, car-based scenic day exploring Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, guided by landscape photographer Phil Crowder.

The focus is on enjoying Scotland at an unhurried pace — with photography gently woven in for those who would like help recording the experience. You’re welcome to take photos yourself (with a camera or phone), or simply relax and let Phil quietly capture moments for you.

Many guests do a little of both.

Your Day, Beautifully Unfolded

Each day is shaped around light, weather, comfort, and your interests — but a typical route includes:

Loch Lomond

Wide water views, mountain backdrops, reflections, and a calm morning start — ideal for settling into the day and enjoying the scenery.

The Trossachs

Often described as “the Highlands in miniature”: quiet forest roads, rivers, glens, and intimate landscapes.

Loch Ard & the Duke’s Pass

One of Scotland’s most scenic stretches, with carefully chosen pull-ins for photography, fresh air, and quiet moments.

Loch Katrine

A timeless lochside setting associated with Rob Roy and Sir Walter Scott — perfect for a relaxed stop, coffee, and gentle exploring.

Callander & the Highland Cows

A welcoming Highland town and a chance to meet Scotland’s iconic Hairy Coos — always a favourite (and a wonderful photo moment).

Optional: Doune Castle

Famous from Outlander, Monty Python, and Game of Thrones. Included only if timing and conditions allow, without rushing the day.

There is no pressure to keep moving, no fixed checklist, and no expectation to “get the shot.”

We stop when it feels right — and move on when it doesn’t.

Photography — Gently Woven In

If you’d like help with photography, Phil offers calm, confidence-building support throughout the day:

  • Simple composition ideas for landscapes

  • How to get the best from your camera or phone

  • Help with light, viewpoint, and timing

  • Quiet guidance — no jargon, no pressure

If photography isn’t your focus, that’s absolutely fine. Phil will discreetly create a small visual record of the day for you, so you still return home with meaningful images.
