BBC ALBA - Dhan Uisge, Series 2, Loch Morlich

Calum heads for a frosty swim in Loch Morlich, a freshwater loch near Aviemore.

Calum MacIlleathainn a’ snàmh ann an Loch Mhùrlaig, faisg air an Aghaidh Mhòir. Calum MacLean heads to Morlich, a freshwater loch near Aviemore for a frosty swim.

Anns an dàrna streath a’ leantail Chaluim MhicIlleathain a’ snàmh ann an uisgeachan reòite ann an àrainneachd iomallach, chìthear e a’ tadhal air feadhainn dheth na h-àiteachan ‘s fheàrr leis - àitichean nach eil air an sanasachd agus a dh’fheumas oidhirp air leth an ruighinn. Mar a chanas e fhèin, “’S toigh leam a bhith snàmh a-muigh nam aonar, gun duine beò ri fhaicinn”. San t-sreath seo, tha Calum a’ snamh ann an diofar lochan aig àmannan gu math fuar agus geamhradail. Thagh e ochd àiteachan air feadh Alba far am bith e a’ snamh saor, nam measg Loch nan Doirb, Cuaraidh Rubislaw ann an Obair Dheathain, Eilean Arainn, Loch Mhisteam sna Hearadh agus ann an Linne Fhoirthe. Anns a’ phrògram-sa, air latha fuar geamhradail, tha Calum aig Loch Mhùrlaig, ann am Bàideanach agus Sràth Spè. Bha tòrr sneachd agus deigh fhathast air an loch ach cha do chur sin a-riamh stad air Calum.

Calum MacLean shares his passion for swimming in remote lochs and rivers! There is nothing that Calum loves better than finding far-flung locations for outdoor swimming and in these programmes he reveals another eight of his favourite places throughout Scotland. His varied chosen settings are not often publicised and some can only be accessed after strenuous endeavours. As he states himself, “I love to swim outdoors alone with no living person to be seen.” The locations featured include Lochindorb, the Isle of Arran, and a swim across the Firth of Forth. 

As always, he is keen to challenge himself and in this episode, on a cold frosty morning, Calum travels to Loch Morlich near Aviemore. He discovers that the loch is still covered in snow and iced over but Calum does not let that prevent him enjoying an invigorating swim.
