Unexplored Scotland is going to run a new programme in 2015. One of the additions is going to be an exciting 9 day sea kayaking tour from Oban to Mallaig. Is is called the Lord of the Isles tour since it covers a large area of the Scottish coast that was rules by the Highland monarchy up to 1494.
The tour will star in Oban with an introductory day in the area. On the following days we will paddle across to the Isle of Mull and then up its coast to Ardnamurchan. Mull is one of the largest islands of Scotland and you can find some of the best sea wildlife in the country. It is not unusual to encounter seals, whales and basking sharks. Adnamurchan is one of the most exposed headlands in the country but also one of the best coastline. The area between Ardnamurchan and Mallaig has many sandy beaches and castles which can be visited. A visit to the Arisaig islands is one of the highlights of the trip. Arisaig is often considered as the caribean of Scotland. Which reflects more the beaches, less the weather.
