Surfing in Scotland
is a minor sport. The water around Scotland is fairly cold, requiring a full wetsuit, although it is warmed by the Gulf Stream.
In 2008, the actor
Billy Boyd
fronted VisitScotland's Perfect Day Campaign, and talked particularly of his love of surfing in Scotland, particularly in
Machrihanish
near the town of
Campbelltown
in Kintyre on the west coast of Scotland and
Pease Bay
and
Coldingham Bay
on Scotland's east coast. In an interview about the campaign with
The Scotsman
on 28 July, he said "I don't really do much promotional stuff but felt that with this one I could be honest...I'm very proud of where I come from and I get very excited if a friend comes over and I can show them around."
