Cleghorn Farm

*PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE ONLY OPEN FOR WEEKEND BOOKINGS FOR CAMPING. THE CABIN IS AVAILABLE FOR MIDWEEK BOOKINGS* 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.

Dog-friendly camping near Perth guide

Overview

An elegant and compact city that sits on the banks of the River Tay, Perth is the ideal base for exploring the magnificent Perthshire countryside. Long known as the “Fair City,” Perth and its nearby surroundings are home to plentiful green spaces, with plenty of walking trails and cycling routes. Other popular activities here include golf, watersports and horse riding, as well as exploring the fascinating Black Watch Castle and Museum and, on the city’s outskirts, the grand Scone Palace. Those wishing to set up camp nearby will find plenty of options, from the elegant palace grounds to a yurt with its own hot tub.

Where to go

Scone

Just a couple of miles north of Perth’s city centre, Scone is famed for its Scone Palace, once the crowning place of Scottish kings, including Macbeth and Robert the Bruce. After exploring the palace’s opulent interiors, you can take a stroll in the lush surrounding gardens and woodland. On the palace’s estate, campers can find grass and hardstanding pitches, as well as safari tents.

Auchterarder

A 20-minute drive southwest of Perth, Auchterarder is a pretty village that is best known as home to the Gleneagles championship golf course. Those not staying at the ritzy Gleneagles resort can opt for a nearby glamping experience in a yurt with hot tub or cabin on wheels.

Falkland

Below the Lomond Hills, Falkland is famed for its 16th-century Falkland Palace, once the favoured countryside retreat of the Stuart monarchs. It’s also a prime location for walkers, who can embark on a number of low-level walks in the nearby Lomond Hills Regional Park, and wildlife watchers who can see abundant birdlife on Loch Leven. On the edge of the park, find basic pitches for tents and small campers.

The Hermitage

A 30-minute drive north of Perth, The Hermitage is an unmissable attraction due to its Ossian’s Hall of Mirrors, a folly made with mirrors, sliding panels, and paintings to create a dramatic view of the Black Linn waterfall. Expect pitches for tents, caravans, and motorhomes in the area.

When to go

With its promise of good weather, long days and a full event calendar, summer is the most popular time to visit Perth. However the season can bring crowds and booked-up campsites in the Perthshire region. If planning to visit in the summer, try to avoid travelling during the school holidays in July and August. Autumn is a good alternative as the countryside will be ablaze in rich colours and blooming purple heather.
