Touring the Treshnish Isles with The National Trust for Scotland, plus an exciting announcement!
In July 2023 I had the enormous privilege of spending time on the Treshnish Isles with the National Trust for Scotland, their rangers, seabird officer and archeologists. The Islands, which lie just off the coast of Mull on the West coast of Scotland, have recently come into the care of the National Trust for Scotland, and having spent time with their enormously passionate and knowledgeable people, I cannot think of a better organisation to look after them.
The islands are stunning, mesmerising and wild, and absolutely full of life, from internationally significant seabird populations to deep and biodiverse plant life. Their waters are also home to basking sharks, whales, dolphins, and larg...

    What equipment were you guys filming on? I’m always been over cautious taking my filming gear on my SUP and ended up using action cams because they are waterproof. P.s love your editing style and grading 👏

    The problem is that very little amount of plastic are recycled, even if you do throw your plastic in the right place, its not recycled, they put them on the ships to poor countries, and it ands in the ocean. All those companies are doing nothing to stop plastic, but we see them bla, bla on the climate summits, stop plastic is more important than a stop oil.

Your friend would be so proud of you. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story Cal. :)
