What's your favourite Scottish bivvy spots?

Post by danielgroves »

Long story short I'm leaving work in a couple of weeks and have three weeks off before I start the new gig.

My current thoughts are to head to Scotland as it's rare I have enough time off to go that far and enjoy the highlands for a week weeks, I'll have my winter mountaineering gear with me and the mountain bike, so what's your favourite bivvy/wild camp spots? I'll probably focus on the west coast before heading towards Edinburgh to call in at dads before I head south again.

I'm not saying I'll actually use any, I'll probably make it up as I go along, but I'd be interested to see some favourites.

The Culbin - always wanted to go there even though I lived on the other side of the bay never made it yet.
Zazen - nothing happens next this is it.

Not a bikepaking spot but a climbing spot

Cool cheers everyone. I'll locate them all on the OS Map and see if I can integrate a few into the plan. Mostly planning to live in the tent and both us for the time off as I need to keep the cost down.
