Paddling along the Strathaird coast
The journey from Kilmarie to Elgol around the coast of the Strathaird peninsula is a short paddle allowing plenty of time to explore the geos, caves and other gunk-holes formed in the almost continuous line of sandstone cliffs. The scenery gets gradually more exciting as the headland of Rubha na h-Easgainne and the island of Eilean na h-Àirde are approached. The only disadvantage of doing the trip in this direction is that the sun is in one's eyes most of the way down the southeastern coast of the peninsula.
