About this course
Our Primal ancestors of old were masters of hunter gathering and would have lived in and around the coastlines where food was bountiful. From foraging seaweed to fresh fish and shellfish, the west coast of Scotland's coastlines was a natural larder in days gone by. As farming has developed over the years we gradually moved inland, developed different eating habits and ultimately forgot these traditional skills.
Scotland has some of the best coastlines in the world with many isolated coves and uninhabited inlets for you to explore. Not to mention secluded beaches where you can spend the night under the stars with a roaring fire to keep you warm. So come join us on the west coast of Scotland as we forage for wild edibles, seaweed and learn about wilderness living and survival skills.
