Wherever you are in Scotland, there are plenty of opportunities to get outdoors as a family or take part in sports and other leisure activities. Even better, many of these are totally free! Our handy dropdown lists can guide you to facilities near you.
Sport and family activities
Did you know your local council provides activities for families to take part in, as well as leisure facilities and opportunities to try different sports? Activities vary from area to area, so we’ve put together a dropdown list of all the different activities and facilities offered by local councils, as well as other organisations in your area, so you can find them quickly wherever you are. Some of these require payment but there are lots of events and activities you can take part in for free!
