The team are busy in force this week rehearsing our new company members into the Whisky Walk. All set for Spirit of The West and Cowal Way Launch this coming weekend as we cover one end of Cowal and mid Argyll at the same time.
Tomorrow will see us rambling up to the old ruined village in the Clachan. A historic reminder of time past when over 4000 people lived in this Glen until the clearances of the late 18th Century. A sheltered hillside site in the lei of a waterfall, the site has been made assessable by the kind work of our local forestry commission and we hope our theatre walk will raise the profile of this ruined settlement, encouraging modern walkers to visit it and take in the sensation of walking back in time that this spot offers. A magical place to be in.
I was with a party who went on the walk in Glendaruel and found it a really enjoyable and thought-provoking experience. It was something completely different and was therefore refreshing. I enjoyed the audience participation and I thought ‘Rabbie Burns’ especially was splendid – a real professional! Good luck with future productions.
Wonderful – thank you for your feedback and I will let ‘Rabbie’ know.
