Slate Quarries, Easdale Island

“Tucked in the Firth of Lorn 15 miles south of Oban, this is a wild swimmer’s dream. There was something eerie about being in water this deep. After just five minutes in the water, the sun had burnt through the cloud, and began to illuminate this clear water, transforming it into a turquoise oasis. It is by far one of the coolest places we have swum in Scotland.”
