Never been before but heard continuously over the years that Scotland was very welcoming to motorhomers and the vast country was very flexible and accommodating to parking up and camping overnight in lay-bys etc. We found the total opposite to be true, new signs up everywhere - no overnight camping! Also many of the pubs that advertised ‘stopovers’ in the winter months are now turning us away. We stayed only 3 of our 35 nights not on a camp site. The mood is definitely changing toward us I think borne by the sheer number on the roads and growing! Time to get back to Europe where we are seriously welcomed and catered for even if our government have restricted that pleasure for us retirees!MorePost is under moderationStream item published successfully.

We have NEVER had a problem with anyone in the winter months, we wild camp a lot and know sites where we can top up and empty out. It is shame though that the UK don't cater for Motorhomes Like Europe do! More ...
