Go further north, of course, and you can explore the legendary Isle of Skye, home to some of Scotland’s finest Munros.
My favourite coastline to explore has always been the west, though. It’s especially rugged and beautiful. The beaches are sublime and the views out to the islands are breathtaking. The kayaking around Arisaig is superb, with views over to the Small Isles of Eigg and Rùm. Venture to the latter and you’ll find an island not often visited, with a terrific mountain ridgeline. Go further north, of course, and you can explore the legendary Isle of Skye, home to some of Scotland’s finest Munros. Keep an eye out for dolphins or minke whales swimming in the water.
