A Whole New World - Kayaking round the Isle Martin, Summer Isles

What does the Scottish coast look like from the water? This episode of Wild for Scotland leaves the solid ground of beaches and cliffs behind and explores the north-west coast and the Isle Martin by kayak.

‘A Whole New World’ is a story about changing your perspective in order to learn something new about a place you thought you knew like the back of your hand. Travelling is all about these kinds of learning experiences for me.

Kayaking is one of my favourite ways to explore and change my viewpoint. This trip to the Isle Martin, an outlier among the Summer Isles is no exception.

In this episode, we learn about the history of the Scottish kelp industry, the geology of the Summer Isles and the wildlife you can expect to encounter on the north-west coast – from seabirds to marine wildlife and even otters.

A big thank you to Will Copestake of Kayak Summer Isles for his help researching this episode.

Are you ready? Great – let’s travel to Scotland!

The Cure - Climbing Goatfell on the Isle of Arran

What to do when you wake up to a sunny day in Scotland and you're longing for an island getaway? This episode of Wild for Scotland heads on a day trip to the Isle of Arran.

'The Cure' is a story about a day trip from Glasgow to the Isle of Arran. I take you with me to the island on a hike that was only made harder by the one too many drams I had the night before in the pub... We're hiking to the top of Goatfell, the highest mountain on Arran.

After the story, I share some of my top tips to visit the Isle of Arran, whether you are coming for a day or longer, hiking Goatfell or want to see something else the island has to offer.

They don't call it "Scotland in Miniature" for nothing!

Are you ready? Great - let's travel to Scotland!
