Going back a few years, there was a guy at work in the same dept as me and as daft about the highlands as me.
Every year he would go up there for his hols about a month or so before me. I would watch the weather forcast for where he was while he was away and vice versa.
When he or I got back we would compare the actual with the forecasted - they never matched

No problen finding an overnight on the West Coast, Highlands or the Western Isles, a little more difficult on the East Coast but not out of the question.
Perhaps you should have gone Specsavers - joke - hope you will try again, plenty of places listed in this site.

wot? no spots?
I guess in reply to this I'll start by admitting to being an ex lorry driver meself.
Professional hitch hiker really. I used to take Volvo trucks off the production line in Irvine - Scotland ( where they used to be built) and deliver them all over the UK then hitch home every day. Anything between 400 and 900 miles per day drive and hitch.5 days a week, average 4 hours sleep, no tachographs, and an a*****e for a boss. Ah, those were the days! So our idyllic camper trips seem like heaven now. We agree that certain areas can be difficult, even infuriating. Bye and large though, on our first full week away in our home build, we fared pretty well for wild spots. In honesty, we could've done better but were too fussy at times, passing good sites because it was "too early " or " could have a better view" etc., but we are learning. I am surprised at times, when expecting a snub, by the reaction of locals,which we have found by and large to be friendly and helpful.I have made some postings on our trips, and will update soon. My general feeling is that we have it pretty good, (though could be better) here in Scotland.

west coast of Scotland
We have been wilding on the west coast of Scotland for about 15 years - never used a camp site. Loads of places to wild camp around Dunoon and then on to Loch Striven - just follow the coast road - keeping the water on your left, and you will reach Loch Striven - about 15 miles I think. Our favourite places are around Loch Striven - you are spoilt for choice there. There are loads of places around Lock Eck, and on up to Oban, then of course on Mull again you are spoilt for choice.
