Getting to our canoe/ kayak and equipment store near InvernessSignpost: Directions to Boots N Paddles

If you are on the A862 Inverness to Beauly road, look for signs to the Moniack Winery.  This will lead you towards Cabrich.  Keep a look out in the area for a lot of outbuildings with red roofs.  We are the only one in the area with red roofs, so you know you’ve found us when you see them!

We can be found near the village of Beauly, but as you can see, we are ideally placed to go anywhere in the Highlands and also have a base in Aviemore.
