Activities and Adventure<br />
Our seas, shores, lochs and rivers are an<br />
amazing playground for those that thrive in<br />
the great outdoors. Whether you’re surfing<br />
Atlantic swells, fishing some of <strong>Europe</strong>’s finest<br />
rivers, sea-kayaking along the west coast,<br />
or enjoying a refreshing coastal walk, there’s<br />
plenty to take your breath away!<br />
Scotland’s gorges, rivers and lochs are perfect<br />
for a huge range of thrilling watersports. With<br />
a wetsuit, and ‘can-do’ attitude, try canyoning<br />
in Highland Perthshire, Lochaber or Dumfries<br />
& Galloway, or go whitewater rafting on<br />
the rivers Findhorn, Moriston, Orchy, Tay or<br />
Tummel. Try stand-up paddle boarding, the<br />
trendiest watersport of the moment or go<br />
‘old school’ and find some of <strong>Europe</strong>’s finest<br />
surfing spots in Scotland. Sea-kayaking is an<br />
amazing way to see our coast in a new way.<br />
If you’re starting out, join a group paddling<br />
amongst the Arisaig Skerries. The sea there is<br />
often calm and you might see basking seals<br />
pulled up on the white sandy beaches - an<br />
incredibe experience. Skilled paddlers can<br />
choose a section of the 500 km Scottish Sea<br />
Kayak Trail, which runs from the Isle of Gigha<br />
to the Summer Isles.<br />
If you’ve ever dreamed of navigating a yacht around idyllic islands<br />
or gliding gracefully across a misty loch, there can be no better time<br />
than Scotland’s Year of Coasts and Waters to plan a sailing trip for<br />
next year. Whether you’re a landlubber keen to learn the secrets of<br />
the sea, or an experienced skipper looking for a ‘bareboat’ charter -<br />
Scotland offers some of the finest sailing experiences in the world.<br />
