Highland & Transylvania Glamp. Pod

2 units · Glamping1 acre · Roy Bridge, SCTGlamping pods in a large garden alongside the river Roy A 10-minute drive from Loch Lochy and 20 minutes from Fort William Seating in the garden and kitchen and ensuites provided Right on the side of the river Roy, the Highland and Transylvania Glamping Pods is a properly cosy base in the Scottish Highlands. The large garden has a terrace, river views and a seating area, but perhaps the best bit is that it’s located a short drive from lochs, glens, rivers and long-distance trails. What might you get up to? Climbing, hill walking, mountain biking and water-based sports are all on the agenda in this area, but especially in Fort William (20 minutes’ drive) and Lochaber, which have been ascribed as a capital for outdoor adventures. Scotland’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, is also 20 minutes’ drive away. Even closer is Loch Lochy (10 minutes’ drive), which has access to part of the 79-mile Great Glen Way (around 10 minutes’ drive). From Fort William, start off on another long-distance trail, the West Highland Way, which stretches for 96 miles across the banks of Loch Lomond and ends in Milngavie. The pods here have been named after the places where the owners spent their childhood and continue to live. Feel free to stop off while travelling to or from the Isle of Skye (two hours and 10 minutes) or stay for a good while… Fort William’s centre has a splendid selection of pubs, restaurants, shops and a bus and rail station. Plus, there are lots of links courses for golfers a day trip away, like the Royal Dornoch (two hours and 25 minutes). Both pods have a small double bed (a bit narrower than a standard double) with all bed linen provided. The kitchen areas are equipped with a fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster (crockery, cutlery and towels are handily provided). To keep things nice and tasty, the pods are also well insulated. The patio doors and the rear opening window are both double glazed and there are electric radiators to inject some extra heat into the kitchen and living area.

1 unit · Glamping8 acres · SCTHedge + Furrow glampsite and wild spa is located on Tap o' Noth Farm, an 8 acre permaculture designed forest garden homestead in Aberdeenshire, NE Scotland. There is a green wavy tin clad traditional shepherds hut with pizza oven and BBQ, a Nordic style wood fired sauna, a Swedish Hikki wood fired outdoor bath tub and a beautiful large spring fed pond perfect for cold water immersion and wild swimming. The accommodation and wild spa facilities are set in a private wooded corner (2 acres) with far reaching views to the hills and to Tap o' Noth, the ancient Pictish (early Scottish inhabitants) hill fort. Being situated on the edge of working permaculture/agroforestry homestead you can also watch the daily goings on of a small farm, like watching the dairy goats being brought down from their grazing or a gaggle of geese move across the fields. The land sits on the edge of one of Scotlands most remote areas and is a Dark Sky zone so the night sky is wonderful for star gazing with regular glimpses of the Northern Lights. And when it snows there is Nordic skiing trails in the nearby forests or you can choose to sweat it out in the sauna and just watch the snow fall.

Outdoor stays for every style

Find your new favourite spot.

Set on the River Ness at the northern end of the Great Glen, Inverness teems with summer visitors searching for the elusive Loch Ness Monster. The picturesque city is well worth a visit in its own right though, and, with the Highlands on its doorstep, it’s a big draw for outdoor enthusiasts who can go hiking in Highland glens and dolphin spotting on the Moray Firth. Campers have plenty of options, from glamping in modern pods to pitching a tent on the water’s edge.

Around Inverness

With cosy glamping pods, modern facilities, and views over to the Black Isle, Inverness area holiday parks are prime for campers wanting to stay close to town. Top-notch facilities and a range of pitch types are typically on offer at caravan parks near Inverness and the haunting Culloden Battlefield. Other nearby camping spots feature flat, grassy tent pitches in rural settings.

Fortrose

Heading 15 miles north, Fortrose lies on the southern shore of the Black Isle peninsula and is known for its cathedral, harbour, and secluded beach. A few camping options are clustered around town, giving you a good base from which to explore the Black Isle, which, with its forest trails, is a favorite of mountain bikers. Expect waterside pitches with views over the Moray Firth, along with grass and hardstanding pitches positioned between shore and woodland.

Nairn

Fifteen miles east of Inverness, the seaside resort of Nairn is a long-time favourite of visitors from near and afar. It’s home to three beaches; is one of the sunniest and driest places in Scotland; and is an ideal base for those walking and biking around the Highlands. Set on a working farm, Barns Highland offers peaceful and spacious hardstanding and grass pitches, plus a few glamping pods. In Highland forest and within walking distance of Nairn Beach are more sheltered pitches for caravans and tents.

When to Go

For optimum weather and long daylight hours, the best time to visit Inverness is from June through August. This is the busiest season, however, so make bookings in advance, especially during school summer holidays. Although the weather will be cooler, you can avoid crowds—and likely have a far more pleasant experience—by visiting in May or September.

Know Before You Go

Many sites in the area are seasonal—check opening dates in advance.
If you choose to wild camp, be sure to adhere to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
Inverness has a regular train service that connects it to Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and beyond. In summer, it is advisable to book tickets in advance.
The area is well-served by buses, but driving offers greater flexibility.
You will likely find any gear you might need in the well-stocked shops of Inverness.
