River Coe, Glencoe
We stayed the night in our Camper van in the An Torr car park which was very busy but a stunning location to spend the night and do some cold swimming. It has a pub 5 minutes walk away and on the way back we stumbled upon access to the river coe. The water was crystal clear and blue so we ventured down and hopped over some rocks to find some calmer, deeper areas for a dip. It was the surprise find followed by the perfect (not very well known) location which puts it at the top spot.
Meeting of the three waters, Glencoe
A very popular spot but our wild swimming craze was just beginning. It was quite busy in the main pool overlooking the waterfall so we walk upstream and found a secluded waterfall with a deep section of crystal clear water we could swim in. It was very cold but the setting was beautiful and we will be back.
Calgary bay, Isle of Mull
Calgary bay is one of Mull’s best beaches in our opinion as it has calm blue water and white sand which is so inviting for a swim. We spent an afternoon on the beach burning some energy and having a dip to cool off.
Fidden beach, Isle of Mull
We stayed at Fidden farm which is a remote campsite located directly on the beach. It has a fenced area and sheep grazing and the beach itself has lots of little coves to explore and lots to discover. We could not leave Fidden Farm without having a dip.
Dunbeath Harbour
Again, a surprise as we were staying in our Camper van at Dunbeath harbour. We could see a little beach in the distance from the van so after dinner we took a short stroll down the the rocky beach. It is not a spectacular beach as it it mostly rocks but we found a little area with less rock and the water was just too inviting in a little cove.
