A complete guide to Scotland’s first formal canoe trail.
Revised and updated 2nd Edition.
This guide is an essential resource to help you plan your journey through the Great Glen across Scotland. As well as the calm waters of the Caledonian Canal there are the challenging open waters of Loch Lochy and Loch Ness. Here you will find advice on how to deal with the conditions as well as food, equipment, safety, communication and rescue.
The best craft for the adventure are open canoes, sea kayaks, touring paddleboards or touring kayaks. There is advice on choosing the right craft, loading it, and the best ways of carrying it over portages.
The coast to coast route can normally be completed in three to five days. We have split the route into a five day expedition and each day is described in detail, including camping and other forms of accommodation. There are also numerous single day options and, for the more advanced paddlers, suggested routes that link stretches of river with lochs and canal sections.

Red Frame –
Just finished reading through this very comprehensive publication. An ideal resource for anyone planning on taking on the challenge of a multi-day coast to coast paddle, a weekend’s outing or just a day paddle. It’s packed with well researched information that will be invaluable to paddler’s contemplating their first “Expedition”, and lots of detail that will allow seasoned vets to make plans to get the most out of their trip.
I’ll certainly be consulting it when planning my next Great Glen trip and it’ll be tucked into my map case during the journey.
Cheers
Red.
