Hiking highlights include 24 guided treks in the world renowned highlands, workshops on topics such as Outdoor Nature Photography, Introduction to GPS, Nordic Walking and Trekking in Central and South America and entertainment like Theatre on the Hill’s production of Willy Russel’s comedy “Shirley Valentine” and nightly Celtic entertainment at The Thirsty Hiker Pub by Jerome Campbell & Stewart MacDonald, Buddy MacDonald, Cyril MacPhee and Cindy and Shelly Allen.
