Kilted Yoga star Finlay hits the Fort

Kilted Yoga star Finlay Wilson and his twin brother, photographer Alastair Wilson, passed through Fort William and Lochaber at the weeknd on a special Highland mission.

 

The duo stopped off at various in iconic spots during the two days, including a visit to the Highland Bookshop in Fort William to sign copies of Finlay's book, Kilted Yoga, and get new photographs and video footage.

 

Using a vehicle from The Tartan Camper Company, the pair also stopped off in Ballachulish, before heading over to Skye and then returning through Glen Coe.

 

It was Finlay's original 'Kilted Yoga' video used by the BBC on its online site, The Social, which launched him and his yoga practice into the spotlight with over 100 million worldwide views.

 

Kilted Yoga was then released as a book in October of last year and has been attracting people’s attention to yoga, Scotland and a healthier way of being and thinking.

 

Speaking about his trip to Lochaber, Finlay told the Lochaber Times: 'It was amazing to see people who knew us and came to speak to us while we took images and videos in all of these places.

 

'We traveled through the night from Glasgow, to Loch Lomond, through Glen Coe, to the Nevis Range, Fort William and then on to Skye and a night surrounded by darkness and the howling wind on the Quiraing.'

 

Finlay added:'I think the whole kilted yoga phenomenon has lent a more masculine image to it, which is a little bit different perhaps to how it is often portrayed and promoted.

 

'It has certainly attracted people to my classes that say yoga was not something they'd thought about trying previously.'
