From 1 April, this much loved scheme is back, with a few new places. Its now a reasonable £7 a night, payable online. https://forestryandland.gov.scot/stay-the-night#map

Cameron Mcneish has produced an excellent new video which dispels a lot of the myths of wild camping in Scotland, and gives sensible advice. Certainly worth viewing to the end.

Well that was a first - we went away last night to one of our favourite 'secret' places deep into the Galloway forest. Awoken about 11pm by an enormous engine noise. Well it was only an army Hercules flying at what must have been 200ft above us. (We only knew because it flew back over this...

Probably donations required this time, probably around £5/ night. More details here

As usual from Cameron, good advice, and not done in a preaching way like some do. Most of us on here will know all this already, and its probably second nature now, but this video should be shared as much as possible. Worth 6 minutes of your time, I hope.

This guy speaks so much sense, but better still he has the ear of the government (usually!) He is also not afraid to be outspoken, in the cause of campervans.

Would normally be out and about in the highlands at this time of year, but its going to be -12C tonight in Braemar, so feel lucky we are at a cosy -8C tonight here in the S of Scotland! I once went camping in Braemar when it got to -17C - needless to say we spent a lot of the night sleeping in...

Pic taken last Friday (all stayed overnight, at least one on levelling blocks). No suggestion that any of the 7 vans filling the small car park are doing anything wrong (There are not any 'no overnight' signs). The staff at the Steam Packet Inn ask people to stay on the adjoining grassy area...

I have this listed on ebay - its a very substantial towbar for a Canter, but could readily be adapted as the rear protection bar of a motorhome. A fraction of the new price... Dave. I could deliver to the Moffat christmas meet if that helps. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123998885768

On the BBC One Show tonight they mentioned a new website/phone App that has mapped the world as a 3mx3m grid giving each square a unique three word identifier. 57 trillion of them! This is a hugely powerful tool for meet ups, whether this is in a lay-by/carpark or in the middle of the...

I dont normally recommend Caravan club CL's - but this one is very close to me, and you dont really need to be a member to stay (rural Scotland!), Stayed here over the weekend - its a 2 acre site, immaculately kept, adjoining a river (great pools for swimming), good walking nearby. We were the...

Not new to this site, but just bought a Mitsubishi L300 Delica 4x4 JB470 motorhome - its only 4.7m long, 1.9m wide so even smaller than a VW T5 SWB. I have had a Delica L400 for many years, and used that to overnight in some great off road places in Scotland, so needed something similar (but...
