Wild Country Helm Compact 3 Tent

Product Information

There is space for over 30 campers here. And you can even overnight at the Cairngorm Mountain upper car park too which is right at the Ski Centre.

The main train station is in Aviemore – regular trains from Edinburgh, Perth, Glasgow, Inverness and an overnight sleeper from London stop here. Anyone planning to travel by train can make journeys across the UK with Scotrail and East Coast Trains. You might consider using Trainline to plan your journey. When I say recycling area I don’t mean a full-on recycling centre, it’s literally just a couple of bins, but it’s a great place to on the Isle of Skye. An overall great spot to stay the night, or simply stop off at if you need to get fresh water and empty your toilet. Ben Lomond Car Park At the highest point on the Buchan coast lies Scotland’s largest mainland gannet colony. Here thousands of birds breed throughout the summer months in an epic wildlife spectacle.

Having filmed across the whole of Scotland, Maramedia noted many changes in the fauna and flora they worked with. Some underwater habitats had noticeably deteriorated since the filming of the company’s Hebrides series filmed in 2011. But other species such as ospreys, red kites and beavers have become commoner and more widespread. Pine Martens have also increased and are doing well right across the nation. It’s also only a short walk into town from here if you fancy grabbing yourself a takeaway (like we did!) From the Shetland Isles in the North to the Inner Hebrides in the South, these isles are teeming with life. In the North-West, sitting low in the Atlantic, are the remote Monach Isles, they’ve been uninhabited since the 1940s when the last people left these shores. And now every autumn the white sand beaches host the largest breeding colony of grey seals in Europe. More than 10,000 pups are born each year and they have just a few short weeks to get ready for independence.

Essentially it means that when you leave a wild camping spot in Scotland, there should be no trace that you were even there, to begin with! Both Stagecoach and Citylink operate regular bus services to Aviemore. You can reach Aviemore via the Express Coaches from London Victoria and all over the country, or there is also a Scottish Citylink bus service which has limited stops at the park. A lot of mainstream parties are reluctant to join forces with Mr Wilders and his party, but the size of his victory strengthens his hand in negotiations. We were protected by the wind, the spot was quiet, and there is room for 2 or 3 vans. Best wild camping spots in Cairngorms National Park Braemar CastleLiving in rural Perthshire, it meant cameraman Fergus was having to sit and study the fauna virtually on his own doorstep that spring. And from that came one of the magical scenes in the series, a woodland glen carpeted with bluebells, with red squirrels and roe deer. Narrator, Thoren Ferguson, says: "Perhaps you think you know Scotland… this land of proud tradition, rugged mountains, sparkling lochs and heather clad hills.

In the town of Braemar you have public toilets, and lots of cute coffee shops, but I recommend you head to “The Wee Bothy” for a morning drink! Balmoral Castle Getting to the Monach Isles was particularly fraught as there are no jetties or indeed any infrastructure there and passage to the island has to be negotiated by seafarers who are totally familiar with the shore and very aware of dangerous skerries to avoid… And the man, who was due to take them there – one of the few with this knowledge – went down with Covid. There are the Forestry Commission area and the non-forestry Commission area which is right by the lake.

Mr Wilders' victory marks a sharp lurch to the right for the EU's fifth largest economy, which will be viewed with trepidation in Brussels, as the PVV has promised a referendum on the Netherlands' membership of the European Union. So I stayed put and it paid off, there was lovely stuff with mothers and their pups. And then amazing full-on drama with battling bulls."
