National Trust members can park for free, but there is a charge for others. This will mainly be focused on long exposure waterfall photography. There could also be a bit of woodland and close-up photography, making the most of the autumn colours if there is time. Fiona says, ‘We’ll start at the Birks of Aberfeldy, go into town for lunch, and then head to the Hermitage to finish the day. I’m hoping that people will be able to carpool from Edinburgh or that we can meet at a location just north of Perth and then carpool from there.

No meet-up in your area? Why not host one? Hosting a meet-up is easy. Just decide where you would like to photograph, pick a date and time, and then email Angela to receive a form to complete to let her know the details. Then all you need to do is be there at the appointed time.
Locations with good transport links, easy access to toilets and a convenient place for tea/coffee, snacks and/or lunch are usually favoured.
