For most people in the UK, they are unlikely to know much
about, or indeed heard of the Inverpolly National Nature
Reserve in the north west of Scotland. It’s about as remote as
you can get in the UK and really can be considered as one of the
last true wildernesses on our shores.That’s what makes it such an
awesome place to explore by canoe!
So, why should you go paddling
there?

Ok, it takes a long time to get there from just about
anywhere south of Inverness. It does have the odd
midge or two during the summer months sniffing out
tasty human prey and it occasionally gets a bit breezy,
but that’s all part of the fun!
