We are planning a tour of Scotland in June with our Coachman Pastiche 520/4 caravan. At the moment the itinerary is:

  1. The Woods - Stirling
  2. Bunree - Fort William
  3. Camping & Caravanning Club site on Skye at Loch Greshnish
  4. Culloden Moor
  5. Balbirnie
  6. Melrose Park

Thoughts on the sites and the routes to these sites would be appreciated. Any info on towing on the roads on Skye?

As above ... I have towed along this road a few times. I'm not belittling anyone. It was you that suggested using other roads but I said it could be used with care.

I also have not toured Scotland for many years but as I recall where roads are narrow unlike those in the South West they are mostly open aspect with plenty of passing places. I have towed a caravan clockwise around the coast of Scotland without problems. I am currently put off touring there from the reports of excessive visitors.

What’s the mileage for this tour and how long have you got?  And are these particularly interesting places you wish to visit, with things you want to see and do, or it just a list of caravan sites ?

The OP has answered about the time he/she expects.

or it just a list of caravan sites ?

What a puzzling thing to ask? And I'm not sure what the point you're trying to make?

I think it's obvious to that they are places they will be interested in and want to see along the way using the sites as bases moving on every few days or so, rather than just a list of sites. 

As others have replied it's appears good plan to see Scotland.

I've just read a new review of the Culloden site😱😱😱

Posted on 22/04/2022 18:07

Yes indeed, and also a new good review of Balbirnie.

We were at Balbirnie last year. Yes it is very heavily wooded but we were fortunate to get what was probably the best pitch for sun. It's at the top of the site on a small glade, all grass. pitches 80-82 if you can get them, nice and quiet too.
