first trip up to scotland wild spot needed

theres plenty of places near to the memorial to stay,.........on the way up from spean bridge theres a turning on the lefthand side into a wooded area,its a dirttrack but takes a motorhome easily,just drive in there , go over the bridge and after about 2-300 yards theres a parking area...theres also plenty of laybyes on the main road
 
My wifes Uncle was a wartime Commando (No. 1 Commando). If he was still alive he would be wondering what you are on about. You do not disrespect anyone if you have travelled there to spend a bit of time and remember these brave men. You would disrespect them by passing by without a thought.

Motorhomers are generally a thoughtful and law abiding gang. I cannot see what the fuss is about. Just let common sense guide you.

When you say 'on the way up' - in which direction please? I'd like to add this to the POIs :)

Thanks.

Simple...... Someone suggested the memorial car park as a possible stopover, someone else later politely gave their opinion that in their view it would be wrong to use it for that purpose.

Appologies Scampa, I flicked through Rolly's post and missed him suggesting the memorial earlier in the thread.

By all means stop at the memorial and pay your respects, I did in January, but there are plenty of places around there to wild camp, so if there is a chance of it being seen as disrespectful, maybe best to stop somewhere else nearby.

On your way to glen coe there is a right turn marked Glen Etive It is also called the lonely glen. Its a very remote spot. Glen Coe is too busy. Spend time there but stay at Glen Etive there is a loch at the end of the road and perhaps the odd fisherman but very quiet

OOps sorry make that a left turn to Glen etive I forgot you were driving north

as this is my first van I too am looking for quiet remote spots to spend time. Its a bit of a steep learning curve at the moment so any advice is welcome. I do know scotland well but not with a campervan head on
