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 he has made a personal wish list of places he has always wanted to visit and swim in. Amongst the locations are the deepest loch, the highest loch and to swim from the most westerly beach in Scotland. He has chosen ten of his favourite places throughout Scotland, most of which are not well known and difficult to access without strenuous endeavours. As he states himself, 'I love to swim outdoors alone with no living person to be seen'. The locations featured include Loch Morar, Glen Etive and Staffa.

As always, Calum is keen to challenge himself, and in this episode Calum swims in the River Etive, the water Calum claims is the most fun for a swimmer. Running between Glencoe to the sea, the river is full of amazing pools. Calum feels more at home in the water than on dry land, enjoying these wild waters which seem to have a life of their own.
