SB | Episode 14: In Deep Water - Scottish Lochs

As it is the first episode of the month, it is time for a “My Favourite” edition. This time we take a look at Scottish lochs.

2020 has been Visit Scotland’s Year of Coasts and Waters and the theme is set to be rolled forward into 2021 as the nation continues to celebrate our vast array of lochs, waterways, islands and coastlines. With over 30,000 freshwater lochs - not to mention the fjords or sea lochs that fringe our coastline - there’s certainly plenty to discuss. Our blethers range across the blockbusters such as Lomond, Ness and Tay to the hidden gems. Monsters, myths and legends to world-renowned produce such as our oysters, mussels and scallops. We’ll even throw in a lake! Dive in - the water’s lovely!

As always, we finish our 30-minute blether with our Scots words of the episode.

We post additional content during the week on our social media. Connect with us on instagram and facebook at @scottishblethers and let us know of any requests, comments or suggestions.
