In honour of Robbie Burns Day, here's a look at how good the surf can get on the north coast of Scotland. Thurso East has to be high on the list of the best cold water waves in the world. Plus, you can combine your forays there with whisky drinking on Islay and, if you're lucky, an afternoon in the stands at an Old Firm derby.

P.S. Don't know who Robbie Burns was? You should.
