Where Can I Paddleboard near Cairngorms National Park?

Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is a water sport that has surged in popularity over the past decade which involves standing on a large, inflatable board and paddling across the water.

Beyond its physical benefits, stand-up paddleboarding is known for its mental health advantages. The serene experience of gliding over water can reduce stress and promote relaxation. Many enthusiasts appreciate the close connection with nature, often paddling in scenic locations.
