Wild Swimming in
Scotland and North England
This vast region
takes us from Hadrian’s Wall and Northumbria up into the great mountain
massifs of Scotland. From Glen Coe to the Isle of Skye, Findhorn to the
Royal Dee, Loch Ness to Loch Lomond, we explore the legend and history
of Scotland’s wild-swimming waters.

across the border from England to Scotland at Union Bridge, one of the
oldest suspension bridges in the world
