Kayaking the Mysterious Depths
One of the first activities I decide to try is kayaking. As I launch my sleek, streamlined kayak into the still waters of the loch, I can’t help but feel a sense of anticipation. What secrets and wonders might this ancient body of water hold?
I paddle with a steady rhythm, my oar cutting through the surface like a hot knife through butter. The tranquil stillness is only interrupted by the occasional ripple or the soft call of a seabird overhead. And as I glide across the surface, I can’t help but marvel at the depth and clarity of the water beneath me.

If you’re looking for a more serene and relaxing way to explore the loch, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) might be just the ticket. I strap on my life jacket, grab my paddle, and step onto the stable, buoyant board, and I’m instantly transported to a world of tranquility.
