Good for families

Great site for the capital of Scotland.

Have used this site several times in the past and will do so again. It has just about everything for almost everyone - couples, families, children, dogs; also peaceful, near the city but with coastal walks on car free roadway; bus route and nearby facilities too many to enumerate. On site the pitches are good and almost all pretty level with good TV and most can get satellite TV too. On this occasion we decided, with it being over Christmas, to treat ourselves to one of the very few fully serviced pitches mains water, drain cover in the hardstanding for grey water as well as having electric and space for awning. Great - we thought - except for two things. Firstly, the connection for the hosepipe onto the water supply tap is NOT the normal one we have come to expect, i.e. it is not a threaded tap outlet, nor does it have a male connector for the very common female hoselock type that 99.9% of us use. Instead it has a permanently fixed brass female hoselock type as an outlet with a lock ring that has to be pushed back to allow a MALE hoselock connector to be inserted to then allow your own female connection to be attached before turning on the tap. Fortunately I carry a male-to male connector to join two hoses together in case of the occasional lomg distance to such taps, but be warned. Secondly, it was a very frosty, icy period of time at Christmas and my lovely blue water hose froze solid overnight at each end, due to no water flow being required for hours. Also the float valve inside my uninsulated water barrel developed a large icy flat collar around it, over those days, only discovered when I tried to remove it when packing up. But over all it was great fun - if only I had known and had been prepared. I've only been caravanning in Scotland for a mere 35 years !!!! You would think I would have stumbled across this before now. Fore-warned is fore-armed. Enjoy Edinburgh Caravan Club Site.
