Take a Break
Wild woodlands
Away from the coast in the woodlands and forests
of Scotland, campers can find The Lazy Duck (www.
nestled at the heart of the Cairngorms
National Park. Camping here isn’t just for summer,
this is the perfect place to get lost among the trees
– day or night, spring, summer, autumn or winter.
Winter is particularly picturesque, with the snow-
capped pines and scrub. Further south in the rolling
green hills of the Scottish Borders, RuberslawWild
Woods Camping has a fairytale
charm with woodland walks and dense patches of
forest. Located in the Teviot Valleys Special Landscape
Area, there are plenty of opportunities to explore the
campsite’s 500 acres and get close to nature.
From sunrise to sunset
Get up with the lark and be ready
to witness a stunning sunrise to
kickstart the day. On the island
of Islay, campers at the Port
Mòr campsite (www.islandofislay.
can watch the
sunrise illuminating the ridges
on the other side of the water,
before it casts a vivid shadow
across the gentle waves below.
The east-orientated shoreline
of Ardnamurchan Campsite
(www.ardnamurchancampsite.
com) in Argyll also makes it
a great spot for taking in the
sunrise as each morning the sun
climbs above the distant tips of
the northern Highlands with the
Sound of Mull.
At the end of a long day
exploring the great outdoors,
there’s nothing better than sitting
back and watching the sunset
bring the day of adventure to a
close. Wheems Organic Farm
in Orkney
offers both bothies and camping,
along with spectacular skyward
views. Further south, Tantallon
Caravan and Camping Park (www.
in East Lothian
offers views spanning across the
Firth of Forth and is perfectly placed
for capturing a show-stopping
sunset, along with great views of the
Bass Rock and the world’s largest
colony of gannets.

Magnificent mountains
Lochs, glens and mountains are synonymous with
Scotland and the Lomond Woods Holiday Park (www.
) on the southern tip of Loch Lomond
is perfect for this. The combination of mountain
slopes and the loch’s gentle waters surrounded by
forest and moorland make this an idyllic spot to set up
camp or stay in one of the site’s lodges. Alternatively,
campers can leave the modern world behind and go
off-grid at Kilvrecht Campsite (www.scotland.forestry.
). Located in the Tay Forest Park and close to
the southern shores of Loch Rannoch with the rare
conical peak of Schiehallion towering over the waters
below, this campsite offers a peaceful pitch where the
sound of birds singing is the morning wake-up call.
