Paddlesport Guidance - 6th Jan
Following the new restrictions imposed by Scottish Government, SCA has published new guidance for paddlers.
In the meantime, we highlight the following aspects of them and encourage everyone to comply.
The message for those on Mainland Scotland is ‘Stay at home guidance’ and by law you can leave your home (or garden) only if you have a reasonable excuse.
Please see the full
SCA guidance for more information on what paddling can take place.
