Woodland Wild Camp – Loch Trool, Galloway

This series of photographs captures the quiet magic of a woodland wild camp at Loch Trool in the heart of Galloway. Our small tents rest by the water’s edge, where the forest opens up to sweeping views and the soft lull of the loch. Daniel gathers fallen wood to kindle a fire, the glow warming the evening air as smoke drifts gently through the trees. Between moments of stillness and the ritual of fire-making, there’s a deep connection to place - a kind of forest bathing where time slows, senses awaken, and the landscape becomes both shelter and companion. These photographs are an invitation to share in that simplicity: to sit by the fire, breathe with the forest, and bask in the ambience of nature.
