The wild swimmer of Kintail
Outdoor writer Kellan MacInnes takes on the challenge of wild swimming 28 high altitude hill lochs in a remote and mountainous area of the Scottish Highlands.
I spent many childhood holidays in Argyllshire in the Scottish Highlands and it was here I was first introduced to hillwalking and wild swimming. Aged seven, I climbed 308m Beinn Lora, which rises above Ardmucknish Bay.
