Wild swimming is one of Calum Maclean’s favourite passions. He travels to Eas MΓ²r at the foot of the Cuillin on the Isle of Skye.

An treas streath a’ leantail Chaluim MhicIlleathain a’ snΓ mh ann an uisgeachan reΓ²ite ann an Γ rainneachd iomallach. Tha Calum airson a h-uile seΓ²rsa snΓ imh a dhΓ¨anamh agus rinn e liosta pearsanta dheth na lochan agus uisgeachan a bu mhiann leis snamh. TΓ²rr dheth na h-Γ iteachan β€˜s fheΓ rr leis, chan eil iad air an sanasachd agus feumaidh snΓ mhadair oidhirp air leth an ruighinn.

Anns a’ phrΓ²gram-sa, bidh Calum a’ snΓ mh aig Eas MΓ²r, Γ ite aig bonn a’ Chuilthinn anns an Eilean Sgitheanach. Tha Eas MΓ²r sΓ²nraichte agus ainmeil ann an Gleann Bhreatail agus mar a chanas Calum, β€œAn seo, chan eil e soilleir cΓ  bheil na crΓ¬ochan – tha uisge a’ coinneachadh ri adhar, creag ri uisge”. Γ€ite sΓ²nraichte gu cinnteach airson snΓ mhadair!

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’t 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 MΓ²r. 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’s not entirely clear where the boundaries are - water touches air and rock touches water'. A special place for wild swimming!
