Oban is a Sea Kayak hotspot.
I don't have the skills for more than 2-4ft of swell and can't roll, did in 93. Need to re-learn.
A interesting insect.

Of course.
Thanks for that, lots of shield bugs around here.

Harvestman agrees. It does indeed look like Nezara viridula. That's what I get for posting without looking things up. Thanks Jason, again.
Sandbender, you must not be in the UK, as my book says that isn't a UK species.

I am advised that my book is out of date and Nezara viridula does occur in the UK.
Doesn't really matter as Sandbender is in Hungary & they're very common in Europe, the shield bugs that is , not sandbenders.
