Meet Team Scotland The Wave: Four Fearless Women Taking on the World’s Toughest Row

In December 2025, four incredible Scottish women will embark on an epic adventure, rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean.

Meet Fiona Deakin, Heather McCallum, Nicky Matthews, and Andrena McShane-Kerr, the brave team behind Scotland The Wave.

The Challenge: World’s Toughest Row

The World’s Toughest Row is considered one of the most grueling endurance races on the planet. The team will face numerous challenges, including battling sea sickness, enduring 40ft waves, and coping with sleep deprivation.

The Team: Four Women, One Goal

Each team member brings their unique skills and experiences to the challenge. Let’s get to know them better:

– Heather McCallum: A 30-year-old response police officer with a passion for adventure sports and traveling.
– Andrena McShane-Kerr: A 41-year-old accountant and mother who loves endurance sports and pushing her limits.
– Fiona Deakin: A soap maker and B&B owner from Cromarty who loves rowing and the sea.
– Nicky Matthews: A 58-year-old mother of four and grandmother of six who has completed numerous challenges, including the London marathon and Tough Mudder.
