Open Canoeing

Scotland has one of the best locations in the world for canoeing. With over 800 islands awaiting discovery and with sea lochs and whitewater rivers, the open canoe has to be one of the most versatile ways of travelling. The open canoe, originating in North America, can be paddled solo with a friend or family.
With it's fantastic load carrying ability, the canoe is the ideal journeying craft, giving the opportunity to undertake a short trip or a multi day expedition. Great for exploring those islands!
