This post is a little out of sequence as I had not edited the video at the time, so this video captures some aerial footage of Castle Stalker and some images of Eilean Donan castle as we travelled between North Ledaig and Loch Greshornish.
There is no drone footage of Eilean Donan as drone flying is not allowed between the hours of 09:00 am and 6:00 pm.
So whilst we still have European travel restrictions our summer adventure is travelling through some of the Scottish West coast – with the first stop being North Ledaig, Oban. We’ve been here many times over the years and were lucky to get a sea front pitch on this visit. A beautiful sea view with stunning sunsets.
We had a long weekend at the Camping and Caravanning Club site at Culzean Castle near Maybole, Scotland. We haven’t been here before yet it’s only about an hour’s drive from home. The CCC is a relatively small site with friendly wardens and beautiful views over the sea. We were lucky to get a pitch at the front, with views of Arran, the Holy Isle and the Ailsa Craig.
The campsite is adjacent to the Culzean Castle estate. You can walk there from the site in around 15 minutes.
If you watch the video to the end you can enjoy the stunning sunset.
So we decided to sell our Hymer 640 primarily due to lockdown, as the European travel restrictions mean we will be touring the Scottish Highlands instead of Europe and we felt the Hymer was too large for what we will be doing. So we’ve bought a Fiat Ducato campervan and had our first weekend away in Moffat.
We are now looking forward to touring the Scottish Highlands in the summer, and then touring Europe when that’s allowed.
We also have the advantage that we can keep our campervan on our drive and so we plan on getting away more often now.
