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.

The Fauld Farm on the Isle of Mull

1 unit · Motorhome, Tent50 acres · Tobermory, Scotland

The Fauld is a small hill farm located close to Tobermory in the north-east of the stunning Isle of Mull in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. In total, the land comprises around 150 acres - although most of this area tends to be grazed by our Highland ponies and Shetland/Cheviot sheep. In spring and summer, there are wild flowers and birds galore, and bracing fresh air is on tap all year round - as are the spectacular coastal views from the top of the hills. The farm lies within walking distance of the iconic and colourful fishing port of Tobermory, which offers a range of shops, cafes and pubs - as well as being home to the Tobermory Distillery at Ledaig. If you have a car, we can offer off-road parking for a couple of vehicles, and we also have parking space for two campervans (though we do not have water or electricity connections yet). PS: You are advised to come equipped for camping in wet conditions whatever the season - although we promise that the weather can be lovely too! We look forward to welcoming responsible, country-loving campers to The Fauld :-)

Camping in Glen Roy National Nature Reserve guide

Overview

Glen Roy National Nature Reserve is famed for its striking “Parallel Roads” slashing across the hillside. While they appear manmade, these are loch terraces that formed along the shorelines of an ancient ice-dammed loch. Exploring the landscape here is a great way to feel nature’s mighty forces and handiwork. The reserve begins three miles (five kilometres) up the glen from Roybridge. There are no formal paths but experienced walkers can tackle a moderate, but lengthy, hike up. The Parallel Roads can be easily seen from the public road, however. While there are no campsites within the nature reserve, Ben Nevis Holiday Park and Glen Nevis Caravan and Camping Park are both within a 30-minute drive.

When to go

The best time to visit Glen Roy National Nature Reserve is in spring and summer when wildflowers bloom in the woodland. You may also spot red deer, ravens, buzzards and even the occasional golden eagle. Glen Roy is close to major tourist attractions such as Ben Nevis and Loch Ness and so the area is often busy with tourists from June through August—try to avoid summer weekends and make bookings in advance.

Know before you go

Glen Roy is best visited with your own transport. The closest public bus stop and train station are both four miles (seven kilometres) away in Roybridge and there is no sidewalk along the road.
You’ll find information panels in the parking lot overlooking the Parallel Roads.
Visitors to Scottish nature reserves should always familiarize themselves with, and take care to follow, the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
