*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.

4 nights at Organic Welltree

I loved my 4 night break in the Bramble Yurt. The yurt was clean and cosy. I did have the stove burner on due to the weather being so good. The bathroom shed was clean and fresh. The fridge was a god send considering the temperature reach a high of 27 degrees. I had a relaxing time sitting in the fresh air watching the wild life and the world go by. I would highly recommend Organic Welltree. I shall definitely go back. I wish to thanks them for my time at Kirkland.

1 night at West Highland Way Hotel & Campsite

Very friendly staff. Easy to find. Great facilities. Lovely walks right at back of premises. Only downside for me was the noise off other campers. People turning up and setting stuff up after 10 pm. Also loud group of lads. But I’m use to wild camping so maybe noise would be acceptable for most.

When to go

The west of Scotland is often wet, so be prepared for rain any time of year. Visiting in the spring and summer months means that you can fit more activities into the long hours of daylight. Winters, while chilly, are fairly moderate but daylight hours are short. If planning to hike the West Highland Way or explore Loch Lomond, it’s a good idea to time your trip for spring or autumn to avoid the biggest crowds.

Know before you go

Some private campsites in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before travelling.
Greenock is served by eight railway stations, which provide services to Glasgow, Gourock, Wemyss Bay, and beyond. Local buses can get you to other places of interest, including Largs and Loch Lomond.
Don’t worry if you’ve forgotten something—you’ll likely find anything you need in Greenock's shops. Start with the large Oak Mall Shopping Centre.
