Woodland camping near Glamis

·

The small village of Glamis has an outsize reputation thanks to its fairytale-like Glamis Castle, setting for Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Venture further from the castle’s romantic turrets and the grandeur of its interiors, and you’ll find a well-preserved village of cottages and intriguing businesses, such as the Gin Bothy distillery. Outdoor enthusiasts will also find plenty to appeal: Glamis puts you in the heart of the Angus countryside and within reach of the Angus glens and Cairngorms National Park. Those wishing to set up camp nearby will find plenty of options, from glamping pods to caravan parks.

112km from Glamis · 15 units · Tents, Glamping · Lanark, Scotland
*PLEASE NOTE THE CABIN IS AVAILABLE FOR MIDWEEK AND WEEKEND BOOKINGS. CAMPING WILL RETURN IN SPRING 2026.* Cleghorn Farm is a mixed farm just north east of the market town of Lanark. Comprised of 250 acres of fields and woodland and bounded to the south by Mouse Water, it is a beautiful spot to get away from it all without having to leave it all behind if you don't want to. The fields are grazed and cultivated but the woodlands are much as they were at the end of the last ice age with spectacular walks along Cleghorn Glen with the chance to see badgers, bats, deer and all manner of birds among the towering pine and beech trees. The Mouse Water (pronounced moose) tumbles down along the edge of the farm and has some glorious pools for swimming, shallows for paddling and some spectacular water falls before it joins the River Clyde.

Woodland camping near Glamis guide

When to go

Spring and summer are the best seasons for visiting this part of Scotland. While good weather cannot be guaranteed, you can be sure of long daylight hours and mild to warm temperatures. Of course, as the most popular season, summer can bring crowds and booked-up campsites—try to avoid weekends and the school holidays in July and August. Autumn, though potentially wet and chilly, can be a good alternative as the countryside is ablaze in rich colours.

Know before you go

  • Wild camping is legal throughout Scotland as long as you follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
  • Most organised campsites in the area are open only seasonally: Check dates if planning to travel outside of peak season.
  • You can reach Glamis by bus from Dundee, which is connected to Glasgow, Edinburgh and beyond by both bus and train.
  • For stocking up on food and camping gear, visit the bustling High Street of Dundee.
