Unicorn Quest
Join us in one of Scotland’s beautiful forests and hills to go in search of a Unicorn.
The Unicorn Quest involves journeying into the forest on a Quest to find our Unicorn.
“Creatures of the world’s deepest forests and jungles, the unicorns are among the most noble and beautiful. They are guardians of the wood and glen, high-spirited with white fur and horns which mark them as highly spiritual beings linked to the light of the Moon. Notoriously shy of humans and wary of predators they have to be approached with kindness and empathy.”
Our Unicorn encourages us to go on an adventure in the landscape, forests and countryside, he helps us fall in love with nature. He inspires us to walk up hills and through forests to find him, stimulating our imagination and sense of creativity as we go exploring.
The Unicorn Quest uses creative activities, such as storytelling, digital photography and social media to celebrate the profound experience of spotting a Unicorn. As we walk through the woods in search of the Unicorn we will learn about the forest and the animals that live there. This Quest reconnects our imaginations with landscape and the Unicorn shows us that the real world is as playful and exciting as the digital world.
A Unicorn Quest is great for landscape based festivals and events. Our Unicorn brings a story and an environmental message.
