The village of Acharacle is in the wildly-beautiful
coastal region of the Scottish Highlands which encompasses
Ardnamurchan, Moidart and Sunart. Some years ago a local
man, John Dye, wondered why the children of the district spent
their time in the local play park rather than out in the countryside
- and he resolved to do something about it - by leading them
into the hills every other weekend on adventurous and exciting
half-day expeditions.
In John's own words: "The Expedition Project is an
inflated title for a simple plan to introduce some local children,
and their parents, to aspects of the area they had never seen
or even thought about. I hoped they would become as interested
in local history, and the making of the local landscape as
I have become."
