lews castle college

UHI Outer Hebrides is a centre for learning and research with local, regional, national and international reach. The College was established in 1953 within Lews Castle, Stornoway, Isle of Lewis and was originally titled Lews Castle College to reflect this. It began as a provider of technical training in seamanship but since then has diversified to provide a varied curriculum at its main campus and a number of learning centres throughout the Outer Hebrides. In 2011 it became part of The University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) which saw a huge opportunity to extend the reach of the college and the courses and teaching it was able to offer. The College is of great importance to the local community across the Outer Hebrides offering local access to informal and formal education and training, contributing to making the islands attractive as a play to stay, live and work – both for those wishing to stay on the islands and those wishing to come to the islands. The College plays a role in working in partnership with stakeholders to support our local economy and communities.

forest bathe

Shinrin-yoku (or forest bathing) means ‘bathing’ all the senses, whilst walking slowly in the forest. When taking in the forest atmosphere like this, the brain naturally switches off from the ‘sustained directed attention’ of life’s daily pressures. Shinrin-yoku is restorative, both mentally and physically, like a bath. Walking in the forest in this way is not like hiking in the woods, nor indeed does it involve collecting or recording information and images like a naturalist or for social media. Where does Shinrin-yoku come from? Shinrin-yoku (森林浴) originated in Japan. The term was coined by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in 1982. Japan’s Forest Agency invested $4 million to study forest bathing and set up the ‘International Society of Nature and Forest Medicine’.
