A FREE event during Scotland’s Climate Week. Come along and share your wildlife encounters in a relaxed drawing and memory workshop with illustrator Emily Tough. ☕ Light refreshments provided We will share and recreate our favourite memories and sightings of wildlife in and around Castle Douglas, with a particular focus on Carlingwark Loch and its very special, protected environment. The workshop is open to everyone, whatever stage you are at in your creative journey—you do not have to be “good” at drawing! We will use pencils and watercolour crayons to bring memorable wildlife encounters to life. The event is part of Castle Douglas Development Forum’s work to celebrate Carlingwark Loch, raise awareness of its environmental importance and help people appreciate and care for its wildlife. The memories, stories and drawings shared during the workshop will help inspire the development of future wildlife information and interpretation for the loch. This is an opportunity to contribute ideas and experiences; no proposals for physical changes to the loch are being presented or decided at the workshop.
