Scotland and water seem to go together quite perfectly. The country boasts over 10,000 kilometres of coastline. In addition there are many fast flowing rivers that are ideal for white water rafting, river bugging and canoeing and that's just for starters.
The seas around Scotland are made for sea kayaking and can be challenging too. People regularly indulge in windsurfing, yachting and sailing on beautiful, peaceful lochs. And for those with more high octane needs, jet skiing, water skiing and power boating are all available. Yes, for sure Scotland can offer watersports enthusiasts more than most countries!
