2020
2020 is a special year for Scottish coastal rowing, as it marks the tenth anniversary of our sport. Watch this space for special events now in the planning, including a Row Around Scotland relay. It is also Scotland’s Year of Coasts and Waters.
Please note that the rowing calendar is being dramatically affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The RowAround has been postponed and the Loch Awe Adventure called off. Many other events are likely to be abandoned or rescheduled. Keep checking the SCRA’s online calendar.
