Touring
Scotland
has some of the best coastal scenery in the world along with excellent
lochs and rivers. The sea kayak and the open canoe enable paddlers
to experience these wonderful areas in full. The
Touring section of the SCA co-ordinates the annual touring calendar
which runs all year round and has trips for all abilities. An excellent
way to paddle new areas and meet more paddlers.
