Paul Davis headed off to the beautiful wilderness of Scotland in 2009. We toured Scotland by camper a few years back and loved the place, especially Mull, although the wind did rip off our awning after we daftly left it out one night when parked up next to a beautifully calm sea inlet. Anyway, here’s his account of their tour.<\/em><\/p>\n

Summer 2009 we set off on a 3 week tour of the north of England and the Highlands of Scotland.<\/p>\n

July 18th<\/h3>\n

It was jnr#1s 16th\u00a0birthday today.\u00a0\u00a0He had some friends over for a drink in the evening, and we set off on our long journey North just after mid night.\u00a0\u00a0We are really loaded up for this trip and the Shogun\u2019s going to have to work for it\u2019s living to haul 4 adult sized humans, 2 large dogs, a roof box, 2 man canoe, 2 mountain bikes and 1500kg of caravan all the way to The Scottish Highlands and back over the next 3 weeks.<\/p>\n

We were not due to set off until the morning, but as always I got itchy feet, so in the pissing down rain we made our way along the M4 through South Wales and up the A449 and M50 into the Midlands and onto the M5.<\/p>\n

I am not at my best when night driving, and by around 3am, having gotten past\u00a0Birmingham\u00a0we stopped in a services to get some shut eye.<\/p>\n

July 19th<\/h3>\n

By 6am we\u2019d given up in the idea.\u00a0\u00a0The service area was just too busy, so we wound up the legs and moved on.\u00a0\u00a0By 7am the lack of sleep is telling and I am falling asleep at the wheel \u2026\u2026. Not good!<\/p>\n

We pull into the next services heading North and doze off in the car. At around 11am we wake up, and the place is in full swing.\u00a0\u00a0What a sight I must have been, on my chin straps and dribbling a waterfall down my tee shirt!<\/p>\n

We hit the road and are struck by how dreary the M6 is, that is until you get close to The Lakes where the scenery improves beyond recognition.<\/p>\n

As we take the exit at junction 40 my fuel light comes on.\u00a0\u00a0I\u2019ve not worked out the MPG but am please that we have done the 330 miles on one tank, considering the way we are loaded up.<\/p>\n

We arrive at our base for the next few days,\u00a0Troutbeck Head CC Site<\/a><\/strong>, get booked in and start setting up on the pitch.\u00a0\u00a0Horror of horrors, we appear to have left behind the awning quick lock pads!\u00a0\u00a0Not good.\u00a0\u00a0I traipse off to reception and ask where the nearest accessory shop is. Turns out it\u2019s 35 bloody miles away!\u00a0\u00a0With no choice, and knackered after the tow, we leave the boys and the dogs at the van and head off.\u00a0\u00a070 miles later we\u00a0\u00a0return with new quicklock pads, open up the awning bag and herself spots our old quicklock pads hiding themselves in plain view on top of the awning!\u00a0\u00a0Oh how we laughed about that!<\/p>\n

\"Troutbeck\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We spend the next few days driving around the lakes, over the\u00a0Hardknott\u00a0Pass<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0a few times, and sitting in the sunshine lakeside whist the boys do battle in the canoe with all the paddle steamers.<\/p>\n

\"hardknott\"<\/a><\/p>\n

July 23rd<\/h3>\n

Time to move on.\u00a0\u00a0The lakes are lovely, but we do not really want to be here.\u00a0\u00a0In hind sight we should have just had an overnighter and made our way straight to\u00a0Scotland.<\/p>\n

After reading loads of stuff on Internet forums, I was a bit concerned about being able to cover any sort of distance once off the motorways in\u00a0Scotland, so have an overnighter booked at\u00a0Maragowan CC Site<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to break up the journey some 175 miles away.<\/p>\n

Some excitement at crossing the border quickly evaporated as we soon realise that the lower half of\u00a0Scotland\u00a0is just miles and miles of nothing.<\/p>\n

We pass road signs with names of places we had only seen or heard of on the news, such as Dunblane and Lockerbie.\u00a0\u00a0The latter appears to sit on its own in the middle of miles and miles of open space.\u00a0\u00a0It is quite unbelievable that when that Pan-Am jet was blown out of the sky all those years ago it actually managed to land on a town!<\/p>\n

Once past Stirling, the\u00a0Scotland\u00a0we were expecting opened up to us.\u00a0\u00a0We towed through a lovely little town called Callander and promised ourselves we would stop off on our way back home.<\/p>\n

We’d not been outside the air conditioned comfort of the 4×4 and as it was gone lunch time we looked for somewhere to pull in.\u00a0 A lay by looked promising, we come to a halt, switch off the engine and get ready to inhale a few lung fulls of clean Scottish air.\u00a0 We opened the door and the stench of stale urine was somewhat overpowering …….. this must be a regular stop for the logging truckers we see everywhere!<\/p>\n

\"callander\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This stop was just a journey breaker, so we did not see much of Killan, picturesque as it is with the river running through the town.\u00a0\u00a0Herself took the opportunity to do some laundry, and a trip to the local co-op was an eye opener.\u00a0\u00a0The accent on the locals was a bit of a shock as were the prices, and there are lots of ginger people around here!<\/p>\n

July 24th<\/h3>\n

Time to hit the road again and tow the short 55 miles to\u00a0Bunree CC Site<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on the shores of Loch Linnie in the Scottish Highlands.<\/p>\n

In reality we could have done this yesterday, but were glad that we didn\u2019t.\u00a0\u00a0Being fresh, we were able to fully appreciate the scenery as we towed over the mountains and Glencoe.<\/p>\n

\"Glencoe<\/a> \"Glencoe<\/a><\/p>\n

I sometimes wonder whether people should be towing caravans or even be on the road at all.\u00a0\u00a0The scare stories about towing on narrow Scottish roads once north of the central belt are totally unfounded.\u00a0\u00a0If 2 lane A and B roads frighten you then you should reconsider your mode of transport!<\/p>\n

Arriving at Bunree we are knocked out by the vista.<\/p>\n

\"Bunree<\/a> \"Bunree<\/a><\/p>\n

We were here for 9 nights in total and spent our time on the loch, took in a few highland games and did a lot of touring around.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to appreciate how big\u00a0Scotland\u00a0is.\u00a0\u00a0Going anywhere involves a significant amount of driving.\u00a0\u00a0Spent a fortune on travelling while up there, but do not regret it.<\/p>\n

Took a spin over to Loch Ness one day, and was more than a little disappointed.\u00a0\u00a0You cannot get any where near the loch, and the various visitor centres and little more than a rip off.\u00a0\u00a0Still it\u2019s one place to see ticked off the list and the day was not a total loss as we stumbled across the Commando Monument on the way there.<\/p>\n

\"commando\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Due to the topography of the land there are many civil engineering wonders to see.\u00a0\u00a0We took in Neptune\u2019s Staircase<\/strong><\/a>, which is a series of Locks on the canal.<\/p>\n

\"nep-stair\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Glenfriddan Viaduct (of Harry Potter fame) was also viewed.\u00a0 There are a lot of Harry Potter connections up here and we popped over to Glen Nevis which formed the backdrop for the Quiddich scenes in the films.<\/p>\n

\"glen<\/a><\/p>\n

We also took a lovely day trip out to The Silver Sands of Morar.<\/p>\n

\"morar\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As we dropped down towards them (it really is remote out here) we were greeted to a scene more reminiscent of the Med.\u00a0\u00a0White sands and a\u00a0boat anchored out in the turquoise sea, with families frolicking on the sand.\u00a0\u00a0Any thoughts of the Med were quickly dispensed with on dipping ones pinkies into said turquoise water!\u00a0\u00a0The\u00a0Atlantic Ocean\u00a0is very cold this far north.<\/p>\n

We took a cable car ride up onto the\u00a0Nevis\u00a0Range\u00a0one day.\u00a0\u00a0Shorts and tee shirts at the bottom, but winter coat weather at the top station. We took a walk over a few ridges and marvelled at the panorama below, watching the weather moving up the Glen towards us, then realising that we were about a mile from shelter!<\/p>\n

\"Glencoe<\/a> \"Glencoe<\/a><\/p>\n

We got wet and cold.<\/p>\n

It rarely gets dark up there in the summer season, and many evenings were taken up with a late night walk (in daylight) up to the local\u00a0Inchree\u00a0Falls<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

2nd\u00a0August<\/h3>\n

Sadly it as time to leave the highlands and head south to our next site,\u00a0Witches Craig<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0near\u00a0Stirling (86 miles).<\/p>\n

\"witches-craig\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After setting up we head off out to explore.\u00a0\u00a0After spending so much time in a desolate location it was a bit of a culture shock to be so close to civilisation once more.<\/p>\n

We spent 2 days taking in the\u00a0Falkirk Wheel<\/strong><\/a>, going Go Karting and getting in some retail therapy, before realising we were missing the\u00a0Scotland\u00a0we left behind.<\/p>\n

On our last day here we back tracked to Collander and then out into the country side to take in some Lochs.\u00a0\u00a0Herself is more than impressed with an all year round Christmas Shop in the village and buys some trinkets as gifts.<\/p>\n

5th\u00a0August<\/h3>\n

The time has come to leave\u00a0Scotland\u00a0and hit the road to make some serious mileage back down south.\u00a0\u00a0Our destination is the\u00a0Blackpool\u00a0south CC Site (213 miles).<\/p>\n

\"blackpool\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After\u00a0Scotland,\u00a0Blackpool\u00a0is completely different.\u00a0\u00a0We were tempted\u00a0to forget it and head straight home, but were all glad that we didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

We took in a show and spend the day at The Pleasure Beach.\u00a0\u00a0It was a blast and a great way to end our holiday.<\/p>\n

8th\u00a0August<\/h3>\n

Long tow home today (280 miles).\u00a0\u00a0The traffic is a nightmare all the way down the M6 and M5 until we hit the M50.\u00a0\u00a0A clear run as far as\u00a0Newport\u00a0and then welcome to the M4 rush-hour bedlam.<\/p>\n

Would we go back to\u00a0Scotland?\u00a0\u00a0YES<\/p>\n

What would we change?\u00a0\u00a0We would tour in with the caravan a bit more.\u00a0\u00a0The roads really aren\u2019t that bad, and with the distances involved it would be more cost effective than day tripping everywhere.<\/p>\n

An observation.\u00a0 There is no hiding from the fact that there are a load if ginger people in Scotland.\u00a0 I have this theory.\u00a0 I think it’s because of all the Iron Bru they drink up there.\u00a0 When you go into a shop down south the cold drinks fridges are generally dominated by Fanta and Coke.\u00a0 Up there it’s Iron Bru, shelves upon shelves of the stuff everywhere you look!<\/p>\n

[editor: I have a ginger beard. It is a birth affliction. I don’t drink Iron Bru, well not much of it anyway! :)]<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
