Coming from Aberdeenshire I would prefer to go to Perthshire. There are some great sites up north. I use Banff and park on the beach area looking across the sea. It has great walking areas round the coast with plenty hotels and pubs near by. A bit faraway for some. but its a thought for the future.

Stirling would be a good place for a lowland rally with good bus and train links and possibly somewhere round Aviemore for the highlands for a 2nd weeks rally.

 

[enery8]

Hawick would be great, at the time of the Melrose 7s April 2016 perhaps?

We will be at Kinlochleven last week of April for the pre 65 competion so that would be a good time for us..would love to meet up and never had trouble with midges that time of year☺

Great timing irnbru. We are looking to travel to your beautiful part of the world this year. Have been warned of the 'midgie' situation so thinking around September/October (not sure if these months are appropriate ?). Locals (ish) have said the west coast is worth the visit.... Kyle of Locholsh, Applecross and Plockton. No idea where these places are, except on the west coast of course !
Will watch this space with great interest... thank you

 

[Puddleduck]

I've sent an email to Springwood Park (Border Union Showground) asking about prices, terms and conditions. We'll see what they have to say

Some fantastic suggestions so far! (edit hit post by mistake, heading to pc lol)

 

[CandC]

OK, so as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted....

Some fantastic suggestions so far! Although fairly new to owning a camper of my own, I know a lot of the places suggested already. I was born in Scotland and lived there for many years and have toured, hiked and camped in some really wonderful locations.

Some of the suggested sites that really stood out for me were:
Benderloch for its beauty and tranquility (I spent about 16 summer holidays at nearby Appin when I was growing up so know the area extremely well).
Glenmore I did my gold DofE expedition in the Cairngorms and fell in love with the mountains instantly!
Dumfries and Galloway for the dark skies.
Perthshire ok so not as dramatic as some of the more mountainous regions, but no less beautiful.

Has anyone suggested Glen Nevis yet? We could have a Funsters' Pimms Party at the summit perhaps? I've been to the top of the Ben 3 times so far and have yet to see the view Hopefully that will change this summer

Keep the suggestions coming people.... I'm taking notes for my moderately grand tour of Scotland in august

Love the idea of Funsters Tour of Scotland. As it happens, we've pencilled in Scotland for our autumn trip (September). Love Scotland, we've toured all over but not recently so we're going to renew our aquaintance. In the North East we're only an hours drive from the border but understand the problems Funsters from the bottom half of the country face but it's really worth the effort. The west coast - Oban up to Skye say - has to be an ideal first time visit and in September usually is glorious. (That's done it, probably p..s down all the trip now!)

I've had a reply from Springwood Park in Kelso asking when and how many vans...... I am pretty busy for the rest of this year but what about early 2016 and how many vans? 30? 40? 50?

I've never even been to a rally so would need a lot of help if this is to happen!

 

[daveandsan]

what about early 2016

How early?

 

[Puddleduck]

March / April / May..... I would go with what suited most people. We will need to avoid events that have already been booked at the showground of course.

We are setting off from Derby to tour the west coast before cutting across to Inverness to follow the Caledonian canal back to fort William then home in September this year....probably all September! A rally in Scotland would be good. As some have said, post midges season, hopefully. We've made no fixed plans post the 9th September, going to 'follow our nose' so to speak but definitely going to Skye. Only booked Arran so far lochranza. Last time in Scotland was 1979... I know.... Sorry, we've got the time now

Any suggestions for places good for motor home would be welcomed

After the Union Show is over and done with next weekend I'll talk with them and see what they come up with regarding prices and dates.

 

[davidbaldam]

May next year would suit us too, as we plan to tour parts of Scotland for about 3 to 4 weeks then.
