| Tread Softly |
| As we enjoy the outdoors we inevitably cause some damage. Let's try to keep that impact to a minimum. We're not party-poopers and we're not wagging fingers, but erosion and environmental degradation are not someone else's problems, they are ours. We can be part of the solution by thinking hard about where, when and how we do our thing. Let's enjoy and celebrate the outdoors but also consider the future, not merely exploit natural beauty and wild places. |

| 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. |
