Camping suggestions for Hogmany in Scotland please!

Post by cosmicsheep »

Hi, having had my bus for a few months now (and having fixed the various mechanical faults) i feel it's about time to do some camping.
Since the Mrs and I have no plans for New Years (and due to the Mrs being scottish) i've suggested going to Scotland for Hogmany this year.
I'm looking for suggestions for a nice pub that would allow us to camp outside, preferably one with toilet/shower facilities and preferably not too far from the Scottish border.

thanks in advance

If you want a great time at new year try the CLACHAIG in Glencoe ,the Red Squirrel campsite is 10 mins down the road.

Campsite looks great and pub too. I'm just worried it's a little too far away for our first outing.

I'm looking at edinburgh now. Does anyone have any experience with wild camping in edinburgh city or using parkatmyhouse.com to get a prime parking spot?

Start a protest and you can park in a prime spot in the city centre. It's worked outside St.Paul's :D

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems but it will p.iss off enough people to make it worth the effort
