Arts and Crafts

Certain places have a natural allure which draws artists to live and work there. Aberfoyle and the Trossachs possesses this in abundance. The contrasting scenery with the broad expanse of the carse and the emerging landscape of the Highlands, creates a wealth of images to inspire. The past years have seen an emergence of galleries exhibiting various works by local and international artists. Many artists and crafts people also exhibit and sell direct from their workshops, offering an opportunity to see the work in progress and discuss details with the artist.

There are several arts groups in the area offering encouragement and support and an active arts programme in the local school to develop environmental art projects in the area. Professional tuition is also available for those feeling inspired, and inspiration is one thing that is always guaranteed in the Trossachs.
