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.

Dun Carloway
High on a hill above Loch Rog in Lewis an amazing structure seems to grow out of the ancient rocks. It is the Iron Age broch of Dun Charlabhaigh (Dun Carloway). It was built over 2,000 years ago.
Most of its stones have been plundered over the millenia for neighbouring buildings.
But there is still enough left to explore its double walled structure which contains a spiral staircase.
The plaque from Historic Scotland explains more.
