Stoneymollan® over Loch Lomond
2 units · Glamping1 acre · Balloch, Scotland
We have two luxury cabins here at Stoneymollan® over Loch Lomond with exclusive use of either a wood fired hot tub or wood fired sauna with magnificent panoramic views over Loch Lomond and the surrounding areas.
The John Muir Way and The Three Lochs Way begin at the end of our tree-lined drive with open wild spaces and spectacular landscapes. You are very likely to see some of the wildlife we share our landscape with. Apart from common species such as Frogs and Toads, Field Voles, Foxes, Stoats (ermine in winter), Hedgehogs, a variety of Garden Birds, Buzzards, Grouse, Pheasants and the occasional adventurous Rabbit (there are too many stones in the ground for them to dig burrows), you may also see Red Squirrels, Roe Deer, Barn Owls, Ospreys (in summer), Tree Creepers, Woodpeckers, Ravens, Sparrow Hawks, Kestrels and common Lizards to name a few. There is also a pair of Golden Eagles nesting approximately 10 miles away.
The West End of Glasgow is only a 25min drive away. Balloch Train and Bus station are only a 15min walk away yet it feels a million miles from anywhere... best of both worlds.
Our cabins are located within the grounds of Upper Stoneymollan® Cottage which was originally the shepherds cottage for the Cameron Estate. It was built c1880.
We have a tree-lined driveway with guest parking outside the front of the main house and our pods/cabins are located in a private area at the rear of our property with which plenty of garden area as well as private access into the woods. We are also only a 15min walk to the shores of the south side of Loch Lomond.

Cleghorn Farm
11 units · Glamping, Tents250 acres · Scotland
CLEGHORN FARM WILL BE CLOSED OVER THE WEEKEND OF 23rd - 25th SEPTEMBER FOR A PRIVATE FUNCTION.
*PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE ONLY OPEN FOR WEEKEND 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.

Campsites near Millport guide
As the main, and only, settlement on the Isle of Cumbrae, any visitor making the ferry journey from Largs is likely to spend some time in the seaside town of Millport. The town sits on a hilly bay on the south coast of the island and is known for its Victorian promenade and Britain's smallest cathedral, the Gothic revival Cathedral of the Isles. Cumbrae’s compact size and fairly flat topography makes it ideal for cycling around. A 10-mile (16-kilometre) circular loop around the island’s main road offers views of the North Ayrshire coast and the Isle of Bute.
Where to Go
Southeast Island
While in Millport, you can pick up some wheels from one of the town’s bike hire shops. The town is also home to a handful of cafes and shops where you can fuel up in preparation for your bike ride. Behind the town you’ll find Millport Golf Course where you can enjoy a round with views to Ailsa Craig, Bute and the Cowal Peninsula. The only campsite on the island, Millport Holiday Park has pitches with electric hook-ups.
North Island
Up the coast from Millport, Ballochmartin Bay is a popular place for kayaking and sailing. You can rent a kayak in Millport and paddle up the coast and around the Eileans (the two small islands in the bay). As you paddle, you’ll likely spot harbour and grey seals, as well as seabirds such as gannets and terns and (if you’re lucky) porpoises and dolphins.
West Island
If cycling around the island, Fintry Bay, on the west side, is a great place to take a break. There’s a little tea room here serving a range of light refreshments. Geocaching is a popular activity here, with around a dozen active caches on Cumbrae, including some around Deadman’s Bay south of Fintry Bay.
When to Go
With long daylight hours and good chances of sunny weather, summer is the best time to explore Millport and the Isle of Cumbrae. Due to its easy access from the mainland (Cumbrae is known as Scotlland’s most accessible island), Cumbrae does get busy with visitors during peak summer, especially on weekends and school holidays. Spring is a good alternative: the crowds will not have arrived yet and the weather should be mild enough for enjoying the outdoors.
Know Before You Go
- Regular ferries make the crossing from Largs on the mainland to Cumbrae (about once every half hour). Buses meet ferry passengers and take them to Millport four miles (6.4 kilometres) south of the ferry port.
- Wild camping is possible on the Isle of Cumbrae, but campers must adhere to the Scottish outdoor Access Code.
- There are a few small shops on the island, but it’s a good idea to bring the majority of supplies with you.
