On the windswept shoreline of Kingsbarns, you trade the predictable comfort of land for the bracing simplicity of the North Sea. Under the guidance of Wild Scottish Sauna's host you are walked into cold water, then invited to warm in a nearby sauna — a short, tightly led ritual of shock, recovery and convivial calm that leaves small groups feeling relaxed and accomplished.
