2 nights at Pirnie Lodge Farm

From the minute we arrived Anne was welcoming and gave us all the information to do with the lodge, the lodge itself was spotless and felt homely from the minute we walked in. Anne also left a welcome pack which was an added bonus, the hot tub was ready on arrival and Anne also shown us how to use this before leaving Anne gave us recommendations on places to visit and where we could go for days out, we were recommended the milk barn which was delicious, the ice cream and milkshakes were perfect! We would also recommend going there! Thank you Anne, we love our stays

Weekend Trip to Ruberslaw Wild Woods Camping

Ruberslaw was the most delightful camping experience. The hosts were welcoming and superb. The amenities were top notch, and the surroundings utterly delightful. Highly recommend.

1 night at Loch Katrine Eco Camping

Quite basic - you're sleeping in a car park - but it's beautiful setting and the toilets were clean.

Moss Wood connects to the West Island Way – take the Poetry Trail and the spur to the Viewing Point – and then take the Stag’s Trod further up (steeply) till you reach the West Island Way.

*PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE ONLY OPEN FOR CABIN BOOKINGS UNTIL THE END OF APRIL 2025. THE CABIN IS AVAILABLE FOR MIDWEEK AND WEEKEND BOOKINGS. WE REQUIRE AT LEAST 48 HOURS NOTICE FOR CABIN 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.

Highland & Transylvania Glamp. Pod

2 units · Glamping1 acre · Roy Bridge, Scotland

Glamping 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.

Cosy Caravan in Roshven

1 unit · Glamping1 acres · Scotland

This self-contained trailer has been a well loved part our home since 2010. We’re happy to welcome friends and visitors to stay in it from time to time. A beautiful, wild and remote setting on the West Coast of Scotland. Peace and quiet! A useful stopover on the way to the Skye ferry. Cars/bikes and wellington boots are recommended. Eggs from our free range hens are available to buy. It is a drive to reach the small local shops/pubs. Walks to beaches and woods. We look forward to welcoming you. The vintage caravan is a cosy, quiet, self-contained space positioned close by our house. It is surrounded by honeysuckle and clematis. Through the windows you can glimpse mountains and trees. There’s a small double bedroom and another small bedroom that can be arranged either with a generous single or small twin beds that are ideal for young children. The living area has couches and a dining table. The kitchenette has all the basics, fridge, microwave and a gas cooker. The bathroom has a shower, washbasin and toilet. This self-catering accommodation has its own private lockable entrance. Guests have access to the caravan, garden, and driveway. Nearest shops/pubs are a 20-30min DRIVE away - it's a good idea to bring everything you need as the road is long and you may not feel like going out again! Please let me know in advance if you require the small twin beds made up. From the last week of May through to early September it is midge season in the Scottish Highlands, so be prepared to encounter these tiny biting flies - however, a light breeze and a stick of citronella incense is usually enough to disperse them! On still nights I strongly recommend that you keep the windows closed, otherwise you may find clouds of midges invade your space. There is a cooling fan to make warm evenings more comfortable. A haven for creatives! During April and October we host artists’ residencies specially for socially engaged practitioners who would benefit from some time to rest and reconnect with nature. When you book via Hipcamp, a small community fee is added to your daily booking charge and this goes to support these residencies by helping to pay for logs for the wood stove during the artists' visits.

Glamping in West Dunbartonshire with a private bathroom guide

Overview

Northwest of Glasgow, many pass through the West Dunbartonshire region on their way into Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park and along the West Highland Way 96-mile (154-kilometre) walking route. For those who choose to stay a while longer, outdoor activities on offer in the region include taking a cruise on the loch, wildlife-watching, golfing and hiking—all of which are best enjoyed in the summer. While there are few private campsites in the region, campers are always within their rights to wild camp, as long as they follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.

Where to go

Balloch

The gateway to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, Balloch is a pretty village lying on the south-west shores of the loch. In the village, Loch Lomond Shores offers a variety of activities, from boat trips to a children’s playpark and bird of prey centre. Camping options range from touring pitches in caravan parks to glamping pods.

Balmaha

Farther up the loch, and just over the Stirlingshire border, Balmaha is another of Loch Lomond’s main gateways. The village has a good visitor center and a number of companies offering cruises around the loch. The West Highland Way passes close along the eastern side of Loch Lomond. You can find nearby campsites with tranquil lochside settings.

Bowling

The village of Bowling has a picturesque harbour and is home to the Forth and Clyde Canal which stretches all the way to Grangemouth on the Forth River and is a popular spot for activities including boating, fishing, cycling, walking and wildlife spotting. The village is close to the Kilpatrick Hills where you can wild camp, according to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.

Dumbarton

On the north bank of the River Clyde, Dumbarton’s main draw is Dumbarton Castle which is dramatically perched on top of waterfront volcanic rock. History lovers will be interested in this castle, one of the oldest fortified sites in Britain, which has served as a Roman outpost, dark age citadel, medieval castle and military base. West of the town, the Overtoun Estate has wooded glens, parkland, exotic gardens and good views of the surrounding Kilpatrick Hills.
