The story

Nine women took on the Highlands in the long light of June: the Old Man of Storr at first light, a cold swim in a Skye loch and a day on the water watching for seals and puffins.

Nights were spent in a stone lodge with a fire that never went out, and the stories that came home were as big as the landscape.

After a cold swim in a Skye loch
“I did not know I could climb the Storr at dawn, swim in a loch and then laugh until midnight. I am already saving for the next one.”
Claire, Encounter Scotland
