Magnificent Moray is a land of milk and honey. A wonderfully diverse coastline with sea stacks, including the magnificent centrpiece known as the Bowfiddle rock, sandy coves, cliffs and remarkable sandstone sea caves, with the most astonishing coloured rocks and sculpted forms imaginable.  The Moray coast is quite literally my back yard and I know it intimately.  You may be surprised to learn that Moray is on record as having the second highest hours of sunshine in the UK. No surprise then that the RAF have set up airbases at Kinloss and Lossiemouth for guaranteed hours of clear sky flying.  Late May, June, July and early August are the only months that the setting and rising sun is far enough north to reach into the coastal baysand thus bring you the remarkable sunrises and sunsets for which it is famous.   

Be under no illusion though, at this lattitude the Moray course demands very early starts and correspondingly late finishes to make the best use of available light, for that reason your body clock will need to adjust itself to a midday siesta of four to five hours when light is least conducive to good landscape photography.  Without the midday rest period the 18 hour days will quickly take their toll.  Heh! even I need to sleep!!  Truly I cannot praise Moray's photographic merits highly enough.

Your accommodation is a delightful complement, making it every inch a holiday.  You will be staying in the family run Cluny Bank Hotel on the outskirts of Forres.  A characterful place with traditional charm and grandly furnished bedrooms.  Food is of extraordinarily high quality, you won't be bothered by midges and the very long hours will provide great photographic opportunities for as long as you care to be out.  The atmosphere is relaxed but make no mistake the photography is serious enough.  A  very pleasant course with some seriously good landscape photography.

Grade: Easy Short walks along cliff paths, rocks and pebbles but no steep inclines.  (NO MIDGES)
