| Comment | Wild camping is legal in Scotland. If the police are moving you on then it would mean you've probably been breaking the reasonable rules that are in place.
Wild camping should be lightweight, done in small numbers, should not be done in a silly place like someone's garden and should not be done roadside. That last one comes with a specific distance you should be from roads, but in general, as long as you are off the beaten track and can't be seen from the road. Wild camping also can't be "motorised", so cant be done in a camper van and you shouldnt be taking a car with you to go camping. Finally, there are large areas around the lochs in the Trossachs National Park that you can't camp next to.
Apart from that we are absolutely spoiled for being allowed to wild camp in an enormous amount of country.
If you can't stick to the rules, then an organised campsite is the way to do it. |
