Scotland has numerous marinas and pontoon facilities which have increased in parallel with the country's popularity as a cruising destination. It is now possible to completely circumnavigate the country using only marinas or pontoons for overnight stops, with the longest passage being less than 70nm along the north coast between Kinlochbervie and Orkney. These modern and well equipped facilities cater for all tastes and boat types, and have opened up the coast to all types of sailors. An increasing amount of English sailors are choosing to berth their boats in Scotland - cheap flights combined with more cost effective berthing make this an attractive option for those who really enjoy their sailing..
