Calum Maclean shares his passion for swimming in remote lochs and rivers. There is nothing that Calum loves better than finding far-flung locations for outdoor swimming, and he has made a personal wish-list of places he has always wanted to visit and swim in. He has chosen ten of his favourite places throughout Scotland, most of which are not well known and difficult to access without strenuous endeavours.

As Calum frequently states, he doesn鈥檛 just swim for the water but also for the magnificent views. Calum makes his way to Glen Brittle on the Isle of Skye to discover a beautiful waterfall called Eas M貌r. It lies at the foot of the Cuillin and offers a wonderful landscape but a place that few swimmers know about. As Calum asserts: 'It鈥檚 not entirely clear where the boundaries are - water touches air and rock touches water'. A special place for wild swimming!
