Scotland

Hello!
My name is Rose.
I'm planning on visiting Scotland all by my lonesome in mid May this year 2024. Finishing PDC in March of this year. Looking into WOOFing but wondering if anyone on here knows of any communities or permaculture farms that want volunteers/workers?? I do know of Findhorn, have an old book written about it that I still need to read.
Would love to make connections and meet like minded people out there! Attached a photo so you can see I'm a person.

PS I am BEYOND excited albeit a little nervous to visit Scotland  🤗

I'd say to also post this in the Experiences forum, the Homesteading forum, and the Education forum.  Also potentially the correct regional forum, that way you can get more eyes on it and more responses.

Hi Rose,
Late May into June is a lovely time to visit Scotland. The midges start being a nuisance usually into June, so you should be fairly safe for a while! It's not too late for helping out - probably with transplanting and mulching rather than sowing and preparing. We have a short cool summer, so even some brassica may be transplanted. Animal help year round of course!

If you haven't already, I suggest you contact the Permaculture Scotland group and have a look at the LAND projects which are open to some extent as a demonstration network. Unfortunately it looks like the links are broken on that page, but most will be easily found from an internet search. For example I found this one straight away:

Black Isle Permaculture and arts

Thank you Nancy for the info this is great!

Scotland, brings back beautiful memories for me. In 1982 I rented a bicycle near Loch Lomond got a brit rail pass and went counter clockwise all the way around Scotland & isle of Skye. The rail pass let me throw the bike in luggage & ride dry for a bit to get out of the cities. Midges are a bit thick in summer but in spring you should be good. Have a great time.

Hi.  You are super cute. So, you have my attention. After visiting Scotland, maybe swing up to Talkeetna Alaska. I know of farms that can use help. One does woofing. I personally have never used help, but might consider it for the girl in that photo. So, I have Highland cattle which might be something that you are interested in. On Air BNB experiences in Talkeetna Alaska, people come over and visit with my cows and I serve some snacks terroir to them. It's neat. I see people from all over. We are called Highland Hugs. Anyways, thought I would throw that out there. Have a grand adventure in Scotland. Being out in the world is the best! A different state of mind than when you are at home. Enjoy.

Hey Rosie,
38 F here and I've been wanting to go to Scotland since 2022.  All my people are still working soul sucking jobs that don't have leave, money, or desire to go with.  Was nervous to go by myself but it's on my bucket list.  I applied for a couple of Wwoofing posts but haven't gotten any responses:  https://wwoof.org.uk/en/hosts
Have passport and would love to travel all up and down that country and then return and take my camper to warmer farms in the states.  Let me know if you want company abroad.  
Thanks!
