Where To Skate
Outdoor SkatingWhere to Skate in Scotland. We recommend these four outdoor locations: Glasgow Green (City Centre), Bellahouston Park (Glasgow South), Crammond / Silverknowes (Edinburgh West) and Lochwinnoch (cycle path).
http://tryskating.com/where-to-skate/
Skating in Bellahouston Park, GlasgowDue to resurfacing many of the pathways in Bellahouston Park (Glasgow South), are now skater friendly. Add to that the renovated outdoor running track and you have especially good skating on mainly smooth flat surfaces.
http://tryskating.com/where-to-skate/bellahouston-park
Where to Skate - Crammond / SilverknowesCrammond / Silverknowes (Edinburgh West). The Esplanade (recently extended towards Granton) give skaters a chance to skate longer distances, which helps improve striding technique. Nice and flat, most of the surface is smooth with some rougher parts.
http://tryskating.com/where-to-skate/crammond-silverknowes
Where to Skate - Glasgow GreenGlasgow Green is skater friendly with long runs on reasonable surfaces (some smooth, some rough) with flat skating on the neighbouring streets. This is a good central spot for everyone to reach with easy access by car or public transport.
http://tryskating.com/where-to-skate/glasgow-green
Where to Skate - Lochwinnoch LoopLochwinnoch Loop (cycle path) is a popular venue for easy "off the road" skating; best for skaters who have taken lessons or have previously skated and can manage the basics of stopping to cope with the entry/exit hill.
