Scottish Outdoor & Adventure Film Tour 2026

Join us for an uplifting evening that showcases the very best of the Scottish outdoors, adventure and filmmaking! Hosted live, the night features a diverse collection of the best short films that celebrate Scotland’s wild places and the people who enjoy them. This year, we’ve got everything from skiing to running, climbing to mountain biking, with stories about friends exchanging their skills to enjoy the outdoors in a changing climate, two brothers’ first big cycling adventure, and a champion mountain biker shredding his local trails. To Know A Mountain (17 minutes) What does it take to know a mountain? A group of women set out into the Cairngorms Mountains to answer this question, following in the footsteps of writer & mountaineer Nan Shepherd – who pioneered a different way of being in the mountains. Alter Ego (3 mins) Champion endurance mountain biker Kyle Beattie rides a fine line between control and chaos on local trails near Inverness. Blending high-speed freeride with a dark, cinematic edge, the film explores the quiet intensity that fuels a rider’s obsession. Monster Miles (4 mins) Two brothers head off of their first Bikepacking Adventure in search of the Loch Ness Monster. Thrawn (15 mins) In the Scottish Highlands, the word “thrawn” means “stubborn" but for a good reason —a virtuous struggle to make the most of what’s available. Professional snowboarder Lesley McKenna was raised on this innate tenacity, and has spent her life pushing the boundaries of her sport and advocating for the people and place that shaped her. Skateboarding Scottish Islands (10 mins) An artist–skateboarder sets out across the Hebridean islands, using a long-distance skateboard and a sketchbook as tools for exploration. Travelling more than 650 kilometres and visiting seventeen islands - some familiar, others entirely new - he documents the journey through drawing, writing, photography and film. Against the Clock (13 mins) A short documentary exploring the life and passion of 88 year old, Caithness Cycling Club cyclist Alasdair Washington. Blending race footage with moments of personal reflection, the film offers an honest portrait of his lasting connection to the sport. Hireth (13 mins) A short film by award winning Director Seth Hughes that exploring the deep but often lost connection we have to home and our homeshores. Filmed on the Outer Hebrides in the Scottish Isles, Mike Lay and Islander, Colin MacLeod exchange waves and reconnect with the land and waters that have shaped their lives so far.
