Imagine you are at the edge of the sea on a day when it is difficult to say where the land ends and the sea begins and where the sea ends and the sky begins. Sea kayaking lets you explore these and your own boundaries and broadens your horizons. Sea kayaking is the new mountaineering.

The Witch's Step, Arran
I recently posted about the sea level Bad Step on the Island of Skye but there are many more high level bad steps such as Ceum na Caillich (or the Witch's Step) on the north west Glen Sannox ridge in the Isle of Arran.
The view from this ridge is a simply stunning mixture of rock and sea scapes and makes for a scrambling paradise.
We recently paddled below Arran's lofty ridges and I have now posted the complete picture set over at the Scottish Seakayaking Photo Gallery.
such visually arresting aretes!

Hello DSD, On that particular winter day we only had time for kayaking but there are many places in Scotland such as Arran, Rum, Glen Coe, Skye, Knoydart and Harris where Kayaking and scrambling can be successfully combined in an expedition. :o)
