Fantastic news for those heading to Scotland this Summer (1 Viewer)

[Mountain man]

I think I have it correct that a new aire type facility is nearly complete at Mallaig.

Yes you are correct however that one is a long way from me.The 3 i know of are reasonably close to me.

 

[bilM]

I Think you will be made very welcome in the Highlands

Mountain man i know i will be made welcome in the Highlands I am born and brought up 30 miles from you just head north past the Crask. Just seems all you here now is the Highlands is overran wth Motor homes when this is not all true I was up in Noverber to see a mate and I think i was the only motor home. That aside do you still get the salmon jumping at the falls.

The Crask well know remote pub.We’re you close to Alnahara.? .November was quite with Motorhomes however that was not the case in the summer.

Always been made welcome in Scotland. In fact everywhere I have been worldwide.

More to do with not being rude or idiotic and respectful to other people’s homes.

If Scotland get their network of aires, I am sure more people will visit and I would hope be kind and respectful while enjoying the beautiful place.

So do no folk from the Highlands go on holiday no one in the Highlands got a motorhome - caravan that go to other parts of the UK and Europe if they do then it should be made clear that they are not wanted and should stay in the Highlands.IMHO.

We have a holiday house (future retirement home) in Wester Ross. Many folk haven’t even been round the other side of the loch. Yes they love holidays - but, especially amongst the significant elderly population, their priority is to stay safe.

Just today ordered SOS from Avon!

Hope it works better for you than it did us, was like midgie BBQ sauce the way they were queueing for a bite! Deet's the only thing we've ever found to be effective.

It’s one of many preventatives I take as midgets love me (as they did my Mum). . SOS all over, insect repellent on exposed areas, different strengths depending on the day I am planning. Long sleeves and trousers if walking, avoiding trees, water and dusk and if really bad the face nets!

There were quite a few vans parked at various locations throughout the Trossachs last Sunday, I'm assuming they had stayed overnight.

If they stayed there overnight I hope they all got booked in the morning.

Never saw any boys in blue and anyway I think they aren't taking any action with vehicles parked up this time round, there was no end of cars parked near the popular mountains for climbers too.

 

[Mountain man]

[The general]

Looks great ! Thax for update

 

[Hirsch]

Here in Dumfries and Galloway we are in no rush to open up to tourists. This last wave hit us really hard and there is no wish to repeat that, so caution is the watchword. Things will open up but perhaps not as soon as some would wish.

Even the wallet?

 

[Mountain man]

Diesel prices near by Fall’s Of Shin £134.9 Litre.

Called in yesterday. There are what look like contactless payment points, £3 for waste and water, no price shown for EHU. No info signage, so not sure if stopping is allowed.

 

[EuroTrotters]

When i read the title i thought Wee Krankie had resigned,,,BUSBY

Hilarious

 

[Mountain man]

Yes overnight is allowed.Price for EHU still to be confirmed.Also they may be opening the small covered area for coffee and cakes ,main restaurant has no one to take it on yet.

Well done highland council for deciding to do this hopefully motorhomers will respect and keep it tidy, it will bring in good money .

 

[Mountain man]

Just had a look at the prices for Falls of Shin and was shocked at the tariff for electric hook up as per the attached.No charge for overnight.

£3 for waste and water I thought was fair.

 

[Googlebot]

Wow!

You can’t use that much electric in an hour even at max wattage it will draw.

Fine by me as we wouldn’t use it anyway, I suppose they have to get the installation cost back somehow.
