Seas the day in an automatic campervan rental - Part 2

This week we continue our look at the best beaches in Scotland to visit in a luxury campervan.

Cliad Beach, Isle of Coll in an automatic campervan rental

This is a nature lover’s paradise and when you go in a campervan, you won’t miss a thing. With stunning views over the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, the dunes of Cliad Beach are remote and quiet, with only the call of seabirds and the hypnotic lapping of the blue waters against the shore as your soundtrack. Coll is a Dark Skies area, which means there is no light pollution to get in the way of the breath-taking sunsets and night skies. Just step outside your luxury automatic campervan rental for the best view of the sky you might ever get! From Oban, the ferry to Coll takes 2.5 hours, and Cliad Beach can be reached from Arinagour.

Automatic campervan rental at Luskentyre Beach, Isle of Harris

Harris is famous for its spectacular beaches, and there is none more perfect in Scotland to visit in an automatic campervan rental, perhaps anywhere in the world, than Luskentyre Beach on the south west coast of Harris, voted one of Europe’s top islands. At high tide it is submerged under crystal clear waters, looking across to Taransay – made famous as the setting for BBC’s Castaway – and the mountains of north Harris. Accessible from a small single track road that arches across the north side of the bay, Luskentyre is fairly easy to reach with your campervan – go direct on the ferry from Uig on Skye or take the Ullapool ferry to Stornaway. Spend just one night here and the worries of the world will melt away- after all, you are on the edge of the world. But in a luxury campervan from Roseisle, you’ll have all the comforts of home while you walk on the wild side.

Scotland’s most fantastic castles in a motorhome hire - Part 4

In the final part of our series about the best castles in Scotland, we travel in our campervan deep into the Highlands. Enjoy fine Highland hospitality at the many welcoming touring parks and experience some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Look for Nessie as you drive your motorhome hire along famous Loch Ness to Urquhart Castle. One of Scotland’s most impressive medieval ruins, Urquhart is very popular with visitors. The visitor centre features fascinating displays of artefacts. Climb Grants Tower for unbeatable view of Loch Ness and the Great Glen. Take some time in Inverness for some fine local dining and shopping- it’s easy to find a parking spot for your motorhome hire in town.

Motorhome Hire & Eilean Donan Castle

One of the most photographed and filmed castles in Scotland, wild and magical Eilean Donan Castle will capture your heart. Set on a rocky island at the spot where three lochs meet, it was built in the 13^th century for Alexander II as a defence against Vikings; however, Pictish forts probably existed here since the 7^th century. Eilean Donnel’s story is as romantic as its setting- Robert the Bruce is said to have taken refuge from the British here, and stories abound of a ghostly Spanish soldier who fought at a battle here in the 1700s. Leave plenty of time for exploration and picture taking before heading to Inveraray in your campervan.

Inveraray Castle in a motorhome hire

Truly as if out of an enchanted fable, Inveraray Castle has been the ancestral seat of the Dukes of Argyll since it was built in the 18^thcentury, and the current Duke and his family still reside there. Overlooking scenic Loch Fyne and handsome gardens, the castle has been turned into a museum, where you can explore an impressive collection of historic weaponry of Scotland, magnificent tapestries and priceless artworks along with other family heirlooms. Stay for a refreshment in the tearoom (the scones are lovely!) and explore the Royal Burgh of Inveraray, with its quaint shops, woollen mill and historic sites.

We hope you have enjoyed our tour of Scotland’s finest castles. Start making your bucket list and reserve your luxury motorhome hire from Roseisle!
