Where to stay (choose what suits you)

Holiday parks & touring sites: Hook ups, showers, laundry – best for recharging and longer stays.

CL/CS style small sites & farm stopovers: Quieter, often scenic. Great for a couple of nights.

Motorhome stopovers/aires style locations: Handy for one‑night transits near villages/harbours.

Good practice & access:

Use official sites or clearly signed motorhome park ups. Don’t obstruct passing places or gateways.

Respect local by laws and Scotland’s Outdoor Access Code; leave no trace and minimise overnight impact.

In remote areas, plan water and waste stops ahead of time.
