Scotland offers its skateboarders a decent amount of skateparks that consist of big bowls and fun street courses to suit all levels of skaters.

While the skate scene isn’t huge in Scotland, there is an ongoing effort by Skateboard Scotland to make skateboarding a more accepted sport in the country. They have been pushing for the construction of more skateparks for the next generation of skateboarders to enjoy so hopefully there will be more facilities coming in the near future. Here are the best skateparks in Scotland so far.
