Imagine spending a weekend surrounded by people who love the outdoors. You might learn to fly cast, watch a working sheepdog, discover how to butcher and prepare wild game, listen to experts around a campfire, sample local food and whisky, explore the latest camping and outdoor gear, meet conservation and tourism groups, and pick up practical skills you can take home. That's Highlands BushFest.
