Loch Fyne scallops

[Ian Young]

Hi there.
First post here having recently moved to Scotland from the 24C waters of the east coast of South Africa.
I’ve been a fair weather spearo for 20 years but mostly dived for crayfish and would love get my hands on some scallops. I’m based in West Lothian so Loch Fyne seems to be a good option for a day trip or short weekend but I’m struggling to find any info on entry points for freediving for scallops.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if there is anyone looking for a buddy in the area I’d love to meet up. Meeting new people at 50 is not as easy as it was 30 years ago.

Hi Ian,
did you manage to get any help with spearfishing marks?
I am heading up to the west coast of Scotland on 6th September in my campervan for a month with a view to getting some diving in. Would you have any recommendations? It would be nice to have a knowledgeable local to pay with beer for advice or even buddy up for a dive.
