Scottish Islands and Sea Kayaking

This is a gallery of our trips to islands and the coast of Scotland- by foot and by sea kayak. Each island has its own character and magic and taking a boat out to an island never fails to thrill! Includes trips to islands of Skye, Harris, the Uists, Rum, Eigg and Islay. Also see our hiking blog
