Scotland is a province of Great Britain with a surprisingly rich history, centuries-old traditions and unique nature. Yachting in Scotland is an opportunity to get to know this beautiful country from all sides. Sailing through the fjords, immersing yourself in Celtic history, the sounds of bagpipes, tasting whiskey and passing the Krinan Canal. We advise you to grab serious yacht equipment, in the northern latitudes only whiskey will not warm!
Day 1 - Largs (Largs)
Arrival at the marina. Check-in at 17:00. The first evening is set aside for acquaintance, dinner in the warm company, food spinning, safety briefing and distribution of ship roles for a week. The city of Lars is a popular seaside resort and a large yacht marina of the west coast of Scotland.
Day 2 - Arran (Arran)
We are going to have breakfast in a new place! Transition to Arran. The first parking in the beautiful Bay of Lochranza, where on the coast there are ruins of an ancient castle - Lochranza Castle and a park with tame deer. Let’s look at the Arran distillery, where the eponymous whiskey is prepared. In the sky above it, you can still often see the Golden Eagle, a rare and beautiful bird that has become a symbol of Arran whiskey. Move to Campbeltown and stay here for the night.
Day 3 - Campbelltown (Campbeltown)
In the morning, if the tide allows, we will walk along the spit to the island of Davaar, to the cave where the icon of Christ is painted on the wall, turning this place into a church. Day 4 - Ballicastle (Ballicastle) weather permitting, Ballycastle is a city in Northern Ireland. Local people call it the City of 1000 rainbows - because of the changing weather and frequent fogs there are many of them! The northern coast of Northern Ireland is rocky cliffs - steep shores. Nature here is a national wealth. I want to absorb this beauty to a drop! you can sit in silence over the cliff and contemplate the North Sea or look at the horizon for a long time.
Day 5 - Islay
Isla is called the island of whiskey - there are 9 different distillery, each of them is unique, very beautifully decorated. All of them are on the beach. We will definitely taste several varieties.
6-7 days - Krinan Canal
This is an amazing place that we just couldn’t ignore. The Krinan Canal was opened for navigation in the early XIX century. There was no electricity and all 15 locks open and close manually. We will have to try, but a great team and the view around will not leave you without positive emotions. It's regatta-tested!
Day 8 - return to the home marina in Largs.
*The route can be changed by the decision of the captains due to weather conditions.
