THREE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES FOR SUMMER Whether energy levels are through the roof or you’re more of the chilled, cultural kind, these three great activities will be hot favourites with the whole family when a day out at the beach just won’t do.
MAKE A SPLASH
1
The whole pool to yourself. Tick. Heated to deal with the temperamental Scottish weather. Tick. Bespoke and beautifully designed. Tick. Part of the permanent collection of artwork at Jupiter Artland, Gateway is a stunning and colourful piece of art, designed by artist Joana Vasconcelos and made of 11,366 hand-painted and glazed Portuguese tiles and, as much as it’s a delight to look at, it’s also a fully-functioning nine metre swimming pool. So, if you’d like to claim that you’ve swam in a piece of art, the daddy of all swimming pools is open for private bathing sessions for groups of up to six. It costs £60 on top of the general admission price for a one-hour session (which includes changing and a half hour swim time) and it’s the kind of thing that memories are made of. Pure joy.
