Touring Scotland, do we have to book?

We usually tour Europe end of Aug/Sept and never book sites ahead of time, just moving on when we want. Can we do the same touring Scotland? Want to visit Edinburgh and then move on. Not fans of wild camping so still want to be on sites. Advice appreciated.

Twenty-five years ago,  we always used to just turn up, even in 'holiday places' in the main season.  (We've always tended to have to go during the main/ buisiedt times.)  We got caught out a couple of times, and since, we decided we would book.  We then found out that if we booked, we could often book a specific pitch, or at least, type of pitch.... hardstanding, serviced pitch etc...  I'm happy with that! 😃😃

Different times David. In 1995/6 my wife, youngest daughter and I went on a 51 night tour over the busiest time of the year. Booked the first site. We used 16 sites and would phone the afternoon before departure. Lucked out once and so stayed an extra night where we were.

Even in the busiest tie we could usually arrange to site up before 11am

"I also plan my routes in detail too. I produce a file with all the maps, directions and booking details all in order"................ Haha we do the same but the other way round - I do the plan, OH drives following instructions!
