Over time I realised I was spending more energy trying to maintain separate online spaces than actually sharing meaningful work and experiences.

Most updates, landscapes and seasonal observations will now be shared through my main Instagram account at Aila Schafer, while this page will remain here for occasional updates and event information 🌿

📖 The seanchaidh wasn’t just a storyteller — they were a memory-keeper.
They held genealogy, land knowledge, clan history and cultural identity.
That’s why we still honour their role in our walks.

Not Just Castles & Clans 🏛
Yes, we talk about clans.
But we also talk about birds, peat, women’s work, sacred springs, and songs your great-grandmother might’ve hummed.
History isn’t all battles. It’s breath and belonging.

🕯️ Not All Stories Are Light
Folklore remembers hardship: famine, clearances, persecution.
But these stories also carry resilience — and often hope.
Our walks don’t shy away from the hard parts.
They make space for it all.

🏕️ It’s never about rushing.
Landscape Lore walks are rooted in a slower pace, real connection, and listening — to stories, to nature, to one another.
Come as you are. Leave with a little more.

🐉What You’ll Hear on a Walk 🥾
On a typical walk, you might hear:
Why a certain rock is called the Giant’s Chair
Where the Cailleach is said to sleep
How a glen got its name
What stories once brought people comfort through hardship or exile
And maybe even… a song on the wind.

📚 Folk tales have never stood still. They shift with time, grow with each telling, and adapt to whoever needs them.
That's the beauty of oral culture — it’s alive, just like the land we walk on.

Many Highland stories carry warnings. Whether it's Kelpies, exploding wildcats (Yes, there is a story...), fairy dogs, witches, or places you’re never to sleep in...
We don’t just tell these stories — we explore why they were told in the first place.
