Best Sites Scotland ???

[williammwatson]

Hi, new to caravaning, where and why are the best sites in Scotland ?? William

 

[Val & Frank]

Best site in Scotland is a matter of opinion, but here's a couple to get you going.

Granton on Spey nice site walk to town. Huntly Castle again nice site walk to town. Silverbank Banchory walk to town ( suspect it can be a little noisy on the road side )

The Invercauld at Braemar walk to town.

Portsoy looks OK Aberdeenshire Council site

Off next week to Arisaig will post again then

As long as the weather holds, virtually anywhere north of Glasgow to Edinburgh. On the other hand Dumfries and Galloway is superb too.... oh and the Borders !!!

Hi William,

The Caravan Club site at Bunree ( south of Fort William ) is almost impossible to get on to.....booking is absolutely essential so that shows how popular it is.

My son swears by Brighouse Bay which is wonderful for families ( Dumfries & Galloway )

North Ledaig nr.Oban has wonderful views over to the islands.A very well run site but the vans are in rather regimented rows....all tiered so everyone has a good view.

If you like solitude the CC site at Altnaharra ( Grummore ) is wonderful.A no facility site ( you have to use your own toilet ) but it does have some electric pitches.It's heaven for bird watchers.

We used Ardmair Point last year ( 5 miles north of Ullapool )Had a wonderful view over the water.We were there in May and had loads of room BUT reckon that in the height of the season the pitches would be quite tight for space.

We're going to Bunree on Saturday, then on to Brora and Braemar. Hope the weather is good

I don't know if you've been before but Bunree and Brora are excellent sites. If you want a pitch on the front at Bunree, overlooking the sea, you can't erect an awning.

At Brora theres a gate from the site which takes you across the golf links and in a few minutes you are on a sandy beach. Be careful if you walk along the beach to the right because Arctic Terns nest in the shingle - get to close and they dive bomb you.

Some lovely drives around there too, Glen Loth and Strath Brora.

Thanks for the info. I knew about the non awning pitches at Bunree, so we're going to try for one of those if possible. Haven't been to Brora but a friend recommended it. Have been to the Braemar area but not with the van

Looking forward to visiting Glen Loth and Strath Brora. Thanks again

Linnhe Lochside just outside Fort William is beautiful. Lochness Caravan Park right on the shore of the Loch is spectacular. Both excellent sites with helpful staff

Val & Frank off to Arisaig next week lucky you`s, its my favourite part of Scotland, those white sandy bays, long daylight hours, and those beautifull sunsets. We`ve been up there a few times (Invercaimb), wish we were going back there this year.
