Looking for advice for new wild camping business venture

[CatherineWard]

Myself and my husband are in the process of setting up a new business, Fire & Peace. The main objective is to get people away from the stresses of daily life and to get them into the outdoors. We do this by taking groups away into really remote "wild" spots and teaching them about the environment, bushcraft skills and how to comfortably spend a night in the wilds (no tents permitted!). It's really all about wellbeing and also about respecting nature. The ideal situation would be if we could find a location where we could be based - so for example a fairly large area of rugged, wild land, which would have trees. We could then run the trips from here and have the security of knowing we have a formal base. As one of the objectives of the business is to get people to reconnect with nature it's very much about respecting the environment - so teaching people the importance of cleaning up after themselves!
I would greatly appreciate if anyone has any experience or suggestions for places or people I could contact regarding this. We're based north of Glasgow, so a spot somewhere not too far from there would be perfect. Here's our Facebook page and website if you'd like a look!

You might find some contacts in the local bushcraft scene. I had a mate who did it down here and they were pretty busy. Good luck with it, I'm sure there is a good market.

Try the National Trust, I know at least two company's in the lakes that rent space in woodland for such enterprises which include a licence to do coppicing.
