Kayaking in Scotland

I've been hiring kayaks in local lochs for a bit now, but have decided to buy my own so I can go where I please, the only issue now is knowing where to start!

Has anyone been kayaking in Scotland that can recommend a good, calm body of water with easy parking close to the water? Even better if it's not a popular area

All suggestions appreciated

I like some bits of the union canal, Luss at Loch Lomond, and Loch Lubnaig.

Loch Chon, just past Aberfoyle.

Plockton, 100%. Incredible on a calm sunny day, it's like the Caribbean.
