Description
Discover Scotland at its wildest best with this stunning guide to the most beautiful and remote journeys for camper vans and motorhomes. The further off the tourist trail the better...
Scotland has long been seen as the ultimate road trip, a campervanning utopia offering the opportunity to camp wild and live free under the stars. For many this will take them on the North Coast 500, over the sea to Skye and into the Trossachs. But there is much more to Scotland than these, at times overcrowded, hotspots. Scotland has Britain's most remote beach, pub, shop and railway station. It has 900 islands, Britain's tallest peak, stone circles that predate Stonehenge by 2,000 years and a loch - not Loch Ness - that's over 300 metres deep and that has, some say, its own monster.
This book and companion guide to the bestselling Take the Slow Road Scotland will take you to the very edges of the map, on a series of personal journeys to uncover parts of Scotland the masses never reach but wish they could. Along the way there are fantastic adventures to be had: watching killer whales in Orkney, exploring the ruins in St Kilda, aurora chasing in Galloway, kayaking to the uninhabited islands of the Inner Hebrides and soaking up the dark skies on Coll.
In discovering these wild and beautiful places this fabulous book shows the reader that, with a little imagination, they too can get off the beaten track in their own country.
