Heading North

[lee celtic]

Hi All

Me and the misses have just decided that we are going to Scotland touring in the Discovery for our holiday this year .And I was wondering if anybody could recommened a few camp sites along the west coast for touring caravans (ones that let in dogs would be good too) I was going to put this in the caravan section but I thought it might also be nice if people could recomend places to visit as well I have never been higher than wigtown bay so whats worth seeing and wot's not :D Also I  don't really want big sites with clubs and bars I would be happy with a patch of grass behind a barn as long as there is shop within 15 mins drive.

Sorry about that. Try this link should work now. :D

Not sure about campsites but places to visit would be Oban or a bit further up Fort William. To be honest anywhere north of Gretna Green is worth a visit

:D Or for the Highland areas try=  http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/results.asp?region=Scotland&county=Highlands

If none of this helps have a good trip anyway, and i or we look forward to seeing some pics... :D

Thanks for them

I have used campsite uk and done searches on the net and seen some nice looking plases but I was more after personal recomendations for plases to visit ie. pubs . eateries parks etc....

as I have said I've not been up far but I did drive the raiders road in an old capri (don't laugh they were cool once) and see were ring of bright water was written . Thats the sort of thing I am after. :D

Hi

Its Duncan here, from the Isle of Skye. Theres a good caravan/camp site just a stones throw from where I live called the Torvaig campsite. Its just a mile north of Portree and has all the usual facilities, showers laundry etc, but no club house. They don't take bookings, its first come first served. Our friends stayed there last year and were pleased with it.

Of course you can always pop in to see us and partake of the local brew and if you can't get a place in the campsite you could always stay at our B&B.

If you take a look at Frankie Boy's web shots (Scotland) for some of the local views, bearing in mind they were taken in February. It does get a bit warmer in the summer (honest)
