| Among the spellbinding mysteries of the nautical world, foremost in Hebridean tradition are the tales of the seal-folk - seals who could assume human form, but could not return to the sea without their sealskin belts. Against the background of such beliefs, the fact of strange people in kayaks being occasionally seen around the islands off the north and west of Scotland was probably not thought worth special mention, until travellers from the mainland heard of these sightings in the 17th and 18th centuries. |
