Scottish Coastal Rowing

Coastal Rowing in Scotland has been growing hugely since the launch of the first Iain Oughtred-designed St Ayles skiff in 2010. Since then, many more communities up and down the Scottish coasts, on lochs and around the world have been crafting these beautiful skiffs. It has also become the rage outside Scotland and has prompted the formation of an international class association - St Ayles Skiff International (SASI).

Lorn Coastal Rowing is proud to be one of over 100 clubs in Scotland and with over 150 worldwide we are really pleased to be part of a dynamic and fast growing social and competitive sport in Scotland. Lorn Coastal Rowing was formed to benefit the local community and to encourage people to try their hand at coastal rowing. Operating from one of the most beautiful coastlines of water means we have the pleasure of exploring new routes and shorelines with other clubs in Argyll, Lochaber and further afield.

Here's What We Do

We row locally from Dunstaffnage Marina for quieter social or training rows.

We plan longer expedition rows up the coast towards Appin and Glencoe, round the island of Kerrera and sometimes tow the skiff to a different launch point and explore other waters with our neighbouring clubs.

We promote being part of a club which is fun, adventurous, inexpensive, and safe.

As a charity we promote the club to the wider community and welcome members from 18 to 100 of any sex and fitness level.

We welcome non rowers who may want to help with the maintenance and upkeep of Cruachan or join any non-rowing club activities.
