Exploring the Castle Grounds with Stornoway Playgroup

On a slightly wet morning Andrew (who has just started work as the Outdoor Learning team on a modern apprenticeship) and Tim met the young people of Stornoway Playgroup at the Golf Club for an adventure exploring the Castle Grounds. They enjoyed the cover of the trees to shelter from the showers.

All the young people were given a magnifying glass and we explained how to use it. This caused great amusement when they realised they could make other peoples eyes much, much bigger. Quickly they discovered they could use them to look at things and for small things.

Although the waterwheel wasn’t working they enjoyed looking it and it will give us an opportunity to visit again.

Sailing with the Scaladale Centre

Over the last three years the outdoor team have been working closely with the Scaladale Centre to deliver high quality outdoor learning in the Outer Hebrides. Part of this has been RYA level 1,2 and 3 dinghy sailing courses for young people. Sailing of the pontoons in Maraig which Marine Harvest are generous in letting us use, we use the Scaladale’s Bahai sailing boats, some of the young people who we have trained are now coming back to instruct on the courses.
