Scotland

We live in North Nottinghamshire and would find 5 to 7 days total much to short a time for a visit to most of Scotland, even with our MH.

For instance if we wanted to get to Pitlochry, there is a very nice site (Faskally caravan park) just a couple of miles north, we would overnight at River Breamish in Northumberland 180 miles, before carrying on to Pitlochry another 150 miles. That would only give you a couple of days there before starting back. 

Its not an area we have visited for many  years, so others will have to advise but perhaps the Dumfries and Galloway area would be more in range at 200 miles or so.

You might like the privately owned Paxton House site not far from Berwick on Tweed. It's on a lovely estate with gardens bordering the River Tweed. The house offers tours, there's a good cafe and a once a week craft market. An ideal spot to explore the Borders or have a day in Edinburgh (fast trains from Berwick.) 

The site is in an old walled garden and has been nicely upgraded. We enjoyed a stay there last year. Access is good.

There are also plenty of nice sites along the east coast from Berwick northwards.

Dumfries and Galloway may be a good choice for that short period of time. Stick to the coast rather than the forest and you are less likely to be bothered by midges. Travel is slow once you turn left out of Gretna, so I would choose something no further along than Newton Stewart. A day to get there, a day back doesn’t leave you with much time. We were up there in May, with the pvc, from Lincs/ Notts border to Penrith first day and then round into D & G. We have done the southern coastal part before which is very nice, especially around Wigtown.

Another option is the site at Moffat run by the other Club. It’s only 5 minutes off the motorway, lovely little town, good centre for visiting various places, depending on your interests, good hill walking, cycling, train to Glasgow/Edinburgh from Lockerbie, Drumlanrig Castle worth a look. 

Or there’s Melrose Club site on here, go via the A68 or A7. Walter Scott’s Abbotsford is definitely worth a visit. Train from nearby Tweedbank to Edinburgh. Climb the Eildons. Walk along the Tweed. Cafe/bookshop/deli in St Boswells.  Great Tapestry of Scotland in Galashiels a few miles away. Peebles is worth a visit about half an hour away and has another easy, lovely walk along the Tweed. 

We live in  Nottingham ,Melrose is a lovely site just over the border, on the edge of the town 
Actually where off to Scotland on the 29 June 2023 for 4 weeks

If it was me, I would stick this time to the East Coast. Use the M1 to get up past Pontefract where there are horrendous road works on the A1, pick up the A1 all the way almost to Dunbar, then concentrate on having a week around the North Berwick area. The Club’s Yellowcraig Club Site is one of the best located, right on the edge of the Firth of Forth, with lovely Sandy beaches, Castles to visit, North Berwick itself is a great little town, and, you can take the train right into Edinburgh city centre for something different. If you don’t want a Club Site, then East Fortune Farm has both a great CL, and a separate small private site, and across the road is an Aircraft Museum, including Concorde. Both Yellowcraig and East Fortune are very easy access. Unlikely to get any midges on the East Coast either, particularly if you are close to coast.

Dumfries and Galloway is also a smashing touring area as others have said. Much further North, and it’s a very long way from Nottingham for just a week. Have a lovely time, Scotland is very interesting and beautiful😁

Tebay have now reopened their caravan park, it's unmanned and you need to book in online. They mention if the site is full people can overnight in the car park (similar fees no ehu.) 

Hope this is helpful to all.

If the OP wants to avoid  the chance of midges the east coast is better.

Driving up from Nottingham to Scotland in one go is perfectly doable. 

We live north of Perth and have often driven from Birmingham in a oner, arriving home late afternoon. We don't leave early either around 09.30. Our son lives near Sheffield, recently we left there at 09.30 and was home by 3pm and that was coming up the A1. 

Where to go, lots of choice but just to let you know the school here broke up at the end of last week. 

We prefer the east coast at this time of year, it's not as humid as the West and no dreaded midges.
