Scotland Wildcamping

[Kontiki]

We are off later this week heading north for Scotland for a few weeks. No clear plans where we are going to yet, done most of our travelling around Europe very rarely if ever using campsites. For some reason I am more nervous wildcamping in the UK than I have ever been abroad. Maybe it is the security of having a sign such as on the aires (just the fact we know that we are allowed to stop legally), also there are loads of POI's available for downloading for most of Europe that you can soon find somewhere. Even then we stay in remote areas where there are no signs without any concerns.

Is the situation in Scotland any better than England/Wales, if there aren't any height barriers there is usually signs to say no overnight camping. I have been reading the Scotland thread on wildcamping & it does look encouraging. Does anybody have any POI's for Scotland?

Hi Kontiki

See what you can do with it (delete is the most used button I believe )
Post it in 2 parts: too long

Never even tried to use it, don't know what it's worth
(glad to get rid of this )

 

[Kontiki]

Thanks both of you.
I'll copy them over to Excel probably & do a bit of manipulating to get them into TomTom, give me something to do when we are on our travels.

Where is your 'area' Andy? As for our preferences we enjoy being away from the big cities other than that a nice view or a beach, where we can have a nice (not too difficult walk) or ride my motorbike. I did see you were trying to organise a meet (now for weekend July 3/5, have you got any particular place in mind yet? If we know before we leave we will try to make it, we were due to be off today but hoping to get some warranty work done on Thursday if the part comes in tommorrow. It's not a big thing but a bit inconvienent, the eletric flush on the toilet keeps leaking (into the bowl) so it is just a matter of replacing the solenoid valve (it happened while we were in Portugal in March!! but we've been too busy to get it done)

 

[Deleted member 5816]

We have just returned from 15 days in the Highlands we only stayed on 1 site at John of Groats ..
one night we stayed ih the Torriden mountain range the rest either by the sea or a sea loch the North West is the worst for no overnight parking but if you look there is always a place to stay.
We have been going to the highlands for 30 years and the chages are most noticable in the north west.

A good stoping place is at Sheildaig there is a village Staith with a fresh water tap and a nice toilet block with hot and cold just a few hunderd yards away there is a donation box at the Staith.

At the side of the Torriden camp site there is a new toilet block with hot and cold water and free electric showers.
The wardens at the CCC site in Glencoe allow toilet emptying and water fill up for a donation in the charity box

We found this year if we stopped on a large spot we always got more vans the excuse was we dont like staying on our own at one spot a van parked so close we could not open the rear door needless to say we moved on.
A good fresh water fill up is at the highways depot on the B869 where it joins the A837, across the road from the buildings on the wall at the side of the sand bays is a fresh water tap we have been using this for 30 years we used to know about 20 taps but the H & S people have removed most even drinking troughs in use from 1836 have gone now.

Anyone requires information please PM


Regards
Alf

Made them into TomTom POI's now, noticed that many of them are campsites though. I've tried to attatch to the post so don't know if it will work. I also have it in Autoroute format if anybody wants it.

 

[blazezak]

Hi Kontiki , Scotland has right of access , meaning , you can park up on most open land , for instance , the Cairngorm national park that includes the likes of Glenshee , plenty of laybys and a good bit of open land , go there a lot on our days off ( no problems )plenty of fresh running water and deer by the hundreds , you can also park up in almost any forest area no problem , the north east and open highlands are great , hardly any ( no overnight parking signs ) , they are mostly put up to deter the travellers with their many caravans ,
come up and enjoy Bonnie Scotland
P.S. I live in Banff and there are plenty of stopovers , you just need to look .

 

[catherall]

hello blazezak
just came back from two weeks in Scotland, wild camped every night, spent a night at the beach in Banff, Beautiful place,

Good job Kontiki. Well done (you achieved 'mission impossible' for me

 

[AndyC]

Hi Kontiki , Scotland has right of access , meaning , you can park up on most open land

The right of access does not, in general, apply to motor vehicles. That's not to say that you can't park up off road - just that there isn't necessarily a 'right' to do it without getting the land owner's permission.

Hi Kontiki
Thanks for the TomTom POIs Could you let me have the Autoroute version as well please? it would make journey "planning" easier.
TIA
Frank

 

[Kontiki]

Here's the Autoroute version, I found it easier to import the file into Autoroute first then use POIconverter to make it into a TomTom file.

BTW Frank I see you are from Preston, do you know of any places good for a nights stopover not too far off the M6 heading north? We are having to go to Discover Leisure in the morning in the hope the part comes to fix our toilet, depending if it comes & how long it will take them to fit it might decide how far north we can get. We were hoping to use a MCC 'Safe Knight' stopover in Cumbria but when I rang they said they were off tommorrow themselves so we are looking for somewhere just to stay on route.

We are off later this week heading north for Scotland for a few weeks. No clear plans where we are going to yet, done most of our travelling around Europe very rarely if ever using campsites. For some reason I am more nervous wildcamping in the UK than I have ever been abroad. Maybe it is the security of having a sign such as on the aires (just the fact we know that we are allowed to stop legally), also there are loads of POI's available for downloading for most of Europe that you can soon find somewhere. Even then we stay in remote areas where there are no signs without any concerns.

Is the situation in Scotland any better than England/Wales, if there aren't any height barriers there is usually signs to say no overnight camping. I have been reading the Scotland thread on wildcamping & it does look encouraging. Does anybody have any POI's for Scotland?

I suggest you go west.Great run from Fort William to Ullapool hugging the coast.North of Ullapool head west towards Auchnahaird and then north to Lochinver exploring many roads to the coast from Lochinver hug the coast to Kylesku and see the seals there then north to Scourie and the beaches at Oldshoremore and Sandwood Bay then on to Durness and Cape Wrath and along the top to Tongue and Bettyhill.Depending on time you can continue round the coast or maybe drop south to Inverness and the dolphins at Chanory Point at Rosemarkie,then perhaps to Aviemore and back down to Perth before getting back to reality and commercialism.Plenty of places to wild camp if you start to look in decent time as there are some restrictions as well with no overnighting.Hope this helps.

 

[Kontiki]

Is this the place
shap - Google Maps

 

[christine]

If you belong to the Clubs, there are three CL's around the Shap area, two being very rural and one on the side of the A6 going through Shap.Otherwise there is the odd pull off on the A6 around Tebay.

Hi Kontiki
To be honest, I've never looked for anywhere on my own doorstep but I did notice a posting by Davy in this forum:
Wild Camping for Motorhomes > Wild Camping Sites > England > Lancashire
Bamber Bridge(Preston)
Personally I would not stay in Bamber Bridge itself but he does suggest the industrial estate at Walton Summit or the car park at B&Q. Cureden Park is a nicer spot but I'm unsure if there are height barriers.
Sorry I can't be of more help
Frank

 

[Kontiki]

I think the one suggested by ***** looks like it might be ok, thanks anyway Frank I did see the one on the industrial estate (not a great lover of those sort of places but always a good standby if really stuck)

Only a member of the MCC not of any other clubs, but I only use a campsite / CL as a last resort, spoilt by many years of travelling around Europe using the aires or stellplatz. One of the reasons we don't bother too much travelling in the UK is the rip off prices some of these sites charge, but if people are willing to pay then you can't blame the owners for getting as much as they can.

Hi Kontiki,
Having just returned from a 9 day/night tour of Scotland I hate to say it, but we did find it harder than we expected to find nice and I mean the word nice overnight locations.
We were very surprised at the number of No Overnight Parking signs
Maybe these are a new thing, don't know myself but we nearly always managed to find a nice place or nearly nice
We went up as far as Inverness and then over to Skye. I think that more nice wilding locations would be available further north.
Very much easier than England and a little easier than Wales, although we do know many places to wild in Wales.
I would suggest that you just go for it as I am sure that you wont be disappointed

I must agree with you, we just returned from the North West of Scotland, Glencoe is now a no overnight parking. as are many, many places we have stopped over the years. We have been visiting since l977, but it is much harder to find decent places, We enjoyed a good night at Loch Ranoch, & another at St. Catherines, but we found that many of the small "run offs" we have used for 30 years are now "no overnight parking" Can anyone tell me the law about this. can they realy enforce this. Why should we not be able to park at night, when we can park during the day, it does not make sense.
Any Scotish solicitors out there?
