Route Summary
Most walkers carry a camera
and take pictures on the
hills but do the pictures
always capture the scene
that you saw? If you would
like to improve your pictures
then this walk is for you.
Accompanied by professional
photographer Keith Ratcliffe,
our chosen route is a moderate
walk around Loch Trool which
we will undertake over a
full day to provide ample
opportunities to explore
the photographic potential
of this picturesque and
historic location. Remember
to bring your camera!
