The Scottish Outdoor and Adventure Film Tour is a UK-wide festival celebrating Scotland's outdoors, nature, and filmmakers. The 2026 tour features a diverse lineup of the best Scottish-made short films that showcase the country's wild places and adventurous spirit. The tour was founded in 2023 by two filmmakers who wanted to give a platform to Scottish films to inspire people to enjoy and protect Scotland’s outdoors and nature.

The tour is operated by Outdoor Film CIC, a not-for-profit organisation that uses the power of filmmaking to promote access to the outdoors for underrepresented groups across Scotland.

Pay What You Can Tickets: We donate tickets to every screening to local community groups and provide a platform to develop the next generation of Scottish filmmakers.
