Workshops
Saturday Evening Speaker
Our Saturday evening speaker this year will be Ed Ley-Wilson, an acclaimed expedition kayaker. Ed recently published his book titled "Kayaking the Sea Roads: Exploring the Scottish Highlands". The book is a personal journey by sea kayak into the heart of the sea roads that make up our Scottish Highlands and islands, describing first-hand wildlife encounters with dolphins, porpoise, otters, sea birds, sea eagles and more. It also opens up conversations on pertinent issues around environment, economy, land ownership, land management and more. We're certain attendees will enjoy Ed's talk, and there will be time for a Q&A session at the end.
