What’s new this summer?
Kilmartin Glen
In July we are aiming to take a group of learners to Kilmartin to look at developing a project in this historic and famous Glen. The project will aim to develop and improve a variety of skills we already have. There will be a variety of opportunities to take part in either part or all of the project; as an individual or working with others.
