Uisge - Outdoor Swimming in Perthshire

Description
'Uisge' is a story about my journey as an outdoor swimmer. From loving the idea but not the implementation to immersing myself in the ice cold waters of one of Scotland's largest freshwater lochs, let me take you on a scenic drive, a hike and a swim in Perthshire. We spend a morning with Scottish broadcaster and experiences outdoor swimmer Calum Maclean, exploring a lush gorge near Kenmore, learn about water safety and take the plunge in some of the coldest water I've ever felt. And you get to be right there with us - without getting wet! Are you ready? Great – let’s travel to Scotland!
