We are taking our first trip to Scotland, leaving from the Essex on Wednesday. We are heading for the west coast and hope to take in some Islands, we have given ourselves 4 weeks for a unrushed trip.
We are aware of the possibility of wild camping and members of CC&C & CC.
I have looked through previous threads, and copied some information; but still don't have a clear view how best to approach this trip.
Can I ask for some help from you good folk. Can the trip be done without the need to book in advance for CL’s or camp site? Is there a good start point on the west coast? Which islands would you suggest to visit, and how easy is it getting ferries? Do you have any recommendation as to places to visit and camp sites? Is it best to take 2 weeks going north and then come back down to west coast visiting other places, or are there alternative routes back down heading homeward?
I know I’m asking a lot, but would welcome any help on any of the questions; plus any other comments you feel may help.
