Trip Type: Short break

One lochside night, a gentle walk and time to learn the van. Luss gives this first weekend a clear base close enough for an easy return to Renfrew.

Trade the busiest Highland roads for Melrose’s abbey, the Eildon Hills and Border towns. Pick one proper walk and leave time for a bakery stop and a riverside pitch.

Follow the A83 from Inveraray into Kilmartin’s ancient landscape, then finish with Oban’s harbour food. This mainland trip puts archaeology and small-town stops ahead of ferry logistics.

Dunkeld’s riverside paths, a bakery breakfast and Loch Morlich’s beach make this a woodland escape. The final sightseeing day includes the drive south to a Perthshire pitch.

Ayrshire coast, Kirkcudbright and the Galloway forest give this trip three different moods. Dark skies are a bonus when the weather cooperates, with a booked forest base and food planned ahead.

Four hire days for Arran: travel to Lochranza, spend a full island day, then return to a mainland pitch before the noon handback. Book the vehicle sailings before committing to the island nights.

Collect in Renfrew at 14:00, settle into Luss for night one, then head through Tyndrum and Rannoch Moor to Glencoe. The main walk is the Lochan Trail, so you can enjoy the glen without making this a mountain-hiking holiday.
