Gorgeous colours, crisp air and fewer crowds- there are so many reasons to enjoy a motorhome holiday this autumn.

Here are just some of the exciting outdoor events going on this fall in Scotland:

Visit an Enchanted Forest in a motorhome rental

The Enchanted Forest returns to Faskally Wood in Pitlochry Thursday 4 October–Sunday 4 November. This year’s atmospheric show, Of The Wild, is firmly rooted in nature highlighting the natural wonders all around and is inspired by the hidden beauty of the wild forest after dark. This spectacular event combines breath-taking visuals, state-of-the-art technologies and a rousing music score that fuses contemporary with traditional. Visitors can follow the winding trail past the mysterious Loch Dunmore deeper into the woods where they will come alive after dark with sights, sounds and scents guaranteed to enchant the senses and surprise curious minds. It’s all right outside your door when you choose a luxury motorhome rental!

Motorhome rental and CowalFest Argyll 2018

Based in Dunoon on the Firth of Clyde, this year’s festival will run from Friday 5 to Friday 12 October (inclusive) with its usual varied and exciting range of carefully graded walks to suit all ages, interests and ability. Fourteen new walks are included alongside old favourites with transport being provided as necessary. The walk leaders and organisers of CowalFest are all volunteers who are keen for others to enjoy the magnificence of the Cowal Peninsula in Argyll.

A mystical walking holiday in a motorhome rental

If spotting dolphins at Chanonry Point off the Black Isle wasn’t magical enough, ‘leaf-peepers’ can indulge in the magic of autumn colours on a walk at Fairy Glen in Rosemarkie. With two picturesque waterfalls, the Fairy Glen was once the scene of a well-dressing ceremony, where the children of the village decorated a pool, next to a spring, with flowers. It was believed that this would ensure the fairies kept the water supply clean.

Fall for an island campervan hire holiday this autumn

Autumn is an enchanting time across Scotland; the leaves turn from luscious green to rich red, gold and fiery orange, there is no better time to explore the country’s scenic islands in the crisp air before getting cosy in your motorhome rental with a warming hot chocolate.

From stargazing on Coll to beachcombing on Lewis, autumn in the most beautiful country in the world is a truly magical time for a holiday in a motorhome!

Island stargazing in a campervan hire

A hive of activity throughout the summer season, autumn on Scotland’s islands is the perfect escape for a campervan hire break to re-charge the batteries before winter sets in. A blanket of reds, golds and oranges lies across the islands and the darker skies glitter with the light of the bright stars.

The Isle of Coll is a designated Dark Sky Island. With little to no light pollution the island is one of the best places in the UK to view the inky night sky and autumn is the perfect time to experience this beautiful natural phenomenon. Alternatively, set off in search of the Northern Lights this autumn and head to the most northerly island group in Scotland, Shetland. With the right conditions, the ‘mirrie dancers’ are most commonly seen from mid-October until mid-March.

Find a postcard perfect spot to wild camp on the islands in your motorhome rental with no crowds in sight.

Campervan hire with beaches all to yourself

Autumn is a wonderful time to visit Lewis and Harris as the islands’ world-renowned beaches are likely to be quieter. Head to beaches such as Luskentyre, Seilebost and Hushinish to stroll along pure white sands and breathe in fresh sea air. With wild camping spots as well as touring parks (check operating hours for the winter) you will miss the throngs and enjoy crisp autumn days in peace while you explore the islands in your campervan hire.
