Trolling to Scotland
Morning,
Off on our next trip, going to Scotland. Never done Scotland before, want to go to Ben Nevis, Loch Ness, Isle of skye and ?. Going for 3 weeks and want to go all the way round the coast. Stopping off in Lake District either on the way there or back. Its me, misses and 4 boys ( 4,6,7& 13). we're taking the sit on kayak. Any one got any suggestions of must see places, good camp-sites. we're up for a bit of laning if anyone's up for it (but not extreme, we got to get home) . Any input grateful. Cheers Paul. |

There's no greenlaning up there, but there is off road pay & play sites (£25 PD), drumclog is a good one and suitable for all levels and you can camp/ park up there, look up Scotland west all terrain on Facebook & send them a message they're generally out each month or drumclog 4x4 folk out every weekend just don't go yourself.
I'm now in northern Ireland or I'd go with you |

Yeh like Mel says no greenlanes up here, there's general rights of access over all ground subject to following the Outdoor Access Code but that's only for walkers/cyclists and horseback, not vehicles. If you want to go on land with a motor vehicle you have to have specific permission from the landowner.
I pay an annual membership for a big offroad site near me but they don't do daily pay and play, just a year's membership. Tons of places to visit and great scenery, especially up north. If castles are your thing there's a few of them eg. Edinburgh, Stirling, Glamis to name a few. Glamis is a nice one near me, right out in the middle of the Angus countryside and still the home of Earl Strathmore. |

Thanks for input, looks like our off roading will be by foot. lol
Last time I went on a pay and play site must have been 15 years ago with our little Suzuki sj413 ... So maybe its time but not risking it with caravan to tow home. Will probably do 2.5k miles towing on this trip. Mel just seen your build your doing , Well impressed. |

Do not forget your Passport !
Just in case Sturgeon declares independance.
Don't forget to pack some Ginger Hair Dye and a man skirt ! Codpiece optional ! lol I have only been the once to Edinburgh and we loved it especially the dry sense of humour they seem to have in abundance. Went to a car boot sale flea market on a Sunday and some bloke in a Volvo nearly ran over the car park attendant in the field. His response was not to curse at the idiot but he shouted out" At least I nearly got killed by a proper car "No a Lada " |

Same price for the driving tuition as it is for a year's membership of the site, I've done it as well though not long after I got the Trol and as Mel says was definitely worth it. Paul, if you are planning on being around Perth/Bridge of Earn way let me know and if I'm around you can always come out on the site with me in my Trol. |
