Hiring a motorhome for travel around Scotland is a popular option for travelers to the northern regions of the UK. It could be the coastal scenery, the mountains and lakes or even the friendly people you meet on the way. Here are some suggested camper van routes that you may enjoy.
Part of camper van travel excitement is that from Scotland you can easily get to the Hebrides, islands that provide great campsites. From Glasgow you can reach one of the main Hebridean islands through Oban. A 3 hour journey from Glasgow is all it takes to reach Oban. Plenty of time to acquaint yourself with the motorhome. One of the highlights in this region is Loch Lomand, along with a choice of overnight camp sites. Taking time to breath in the fresh air and relax is the key to enjoying the adventure.
Mull is the second largest Hebridean island and a marvelous motorhomers destination. An abundance of wildlife can be found here. Home to the famous Golden Eagles, you may also see otters, Minke whales and dolphins around the islands. The island is a great place to also get out of the motorhome and take a walk among the peace and quiet of the hills and near deserted bays.
Moving onwards, take the Mallaig road and stop off at your leisure. Arisaig is where you will find most of the camp sites and you could spend a few days here to really see all that is available. Surrounded by stunning scenery, this area is a must see for all who visit the Hebridean islands.
As we near the end of the tour, take in one last island to complete this tour of the Hebrides. Board the ferry and head on over to Skye, another island full of history. A popular jaunt on the island is a visit to the Tallisker distillery, though there are many places that give a glimpse of the islands strong Gaelic past. After you have seen all that Skye has to offer, take the bridge back to the tour starting point of Glasgow.
The journey back to Glasgow is very scenic and one that you will remember for a long time. Some amazing scenery with the backdrop of impressive mountains and ancient walls. This is a real stop for camper vans, before you enter Loch Lomond Park once more. This is a great route for those new to hiring a campervan for their vacation and for those who have yet to take a tour of the Hebridean Islands.
