A guidebook covering some of Scottish paddling’s best kept secrets.
Forty-five journeys are described in a way that is both inspirational and informative. Details of launching and landing sites, tides and potential hazards are provided and the coast is described in exquisite detail. This means that it can also be used as a kayaker’s ‘pilot’ for any journey they might wish to undertake in this area.
It follows the successful format of other Pesda Press sea kayaking guides, presenting the information in a user-friendly fashion and making good use of maps and colour photographs.
The North and East Coasts of Scotland do not have as many sheltered water options as you might get on the West or in the Islands, and there is always some sort of swell, but if you make the effort you will be richly rewarded, by stunning cliff and coastal scenery, numerous bird colonies, and fascinating fishing villages each with their own history and character.

Excellent quality guidebook, highlights areas that should be known and paddled more than they are.

When is comes to sea kayaking in Scotland the west coast tends to get all the attention, however, this guide might change that, as it reveals Scotland’s best kept paddling secret: the north and east coasts.
Doug Cooper, Head of Paddlesports at Glenmore lodge and all-round sea kayaking expeditionary, shares forty-five of the region’s best journeys. Each route is described in detail, with a colour map and all the associated planning information, including start and finish grid references, tide times, distance and difficulty. The guide is illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs that show the coast at its best, and also prove that the east gets its fair share of sunshine and blue skies! If you’re looking for stunning cliff and coastal scenery, crumbling castles and picturesque fishing villages then this is the coast for you.
This guide has all the information that an intrepid kayaker needs, in a user-friendly format and with plenty notes on points of interest, including wildlife, flora and fauna, and local history.
