Clan Skates Glasgow

Oldest Skateboard Shop in Scotland

"Clan Skates offers top gear for skateboarding, snowboarding, and surfing, plus expert service—all from a wee blue shop near Kelvinhall."

Great products, helpful services, expert staff... In five years of my experience visiting the shop, this is how I would describe Clan Skates. They have everything one could need when it comes to skateboarding, snowboarding and surfing equipment and clothes.

Nestled in a wee blue shop in the West End of Glasgow, Clan Skates is helpfully located only a 2-minute walk from the 'Kelvinhall' Subway Station and is dedicated to providing high-quality gear and exceptional customer service since 1988.

I love that the shop has its own 'Clan Skates' branded clothing, skateboards, accessories and stickers in numerous colours and designs on top of the vast selection of other brands they are partnered with. I have used and worn their products and am still using them, their hoodies are fantastic quality and their skateboards are too!

The skate shop is not limited to these products. They also have services available such as 'board servicing' for skate, snow and surf-boards. Also renting out equipment for the surfers at very reasonable rates.
