Highland Hearth is an ancestral skills gathering rooted in land-based community living and traditional Scottish culture. Taking place at Lughnasadh, the first harvest festival, this gathering is an invitation to step out of our modern pace and into an older rhythm.

Lughnasadh is a time of gratitude and gathering, when the fruits of the land begin to ripen and skills are shared for the good of the community. Historically, it was a moment to pause, to honour effort and abundance, and to come together through food, craft, and story. Over the course of the gathering, participants will take part in hands-on, practical skills rooted in Highland life - working with natural materials, learning land-based skills, and reconnecting with ways of making and living that are slow, resilient, and deeply human.

Highland Hearth is about community as much as craft. We eat together, learn together, and laugh together. The hearth is both literal and symbolic - a place of warmth, welcome, and belonging. This is a gathering for those who feel drawn to ancestral ways of living, who value respect for land and lineage, and who wish to reconnect with skills that nourish both people and place.

We will be returning to Tombreck for Highland Hearth in August 2027! Please feel free to send a message using the contact form if you’d like to be updated when more info becomes available - tickets will go on sale later this year.
