Cleghorn Farm

15 units · Glamping, Tents250 acres · Lanark, Scotland
*PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE ONLY OPEN FOR CABIN BOOKINGS UNTIL NEXT SPRING. THE CABIN IS AVAILABLE FOR MIDWEEK AND WEEKEND BOOKINGS. WE REQUIRE AT LEAST 48 HOURS NOTICE FOR CABIN BOOKINGS* Cleghorn Farm is a mixed farm just north east of the market town of Lanark. Comprised of 250 acres of fields and woodland and bounded to the south by Mouse Water, it is a beautiful spot to get away from it all without having to leave it all behind if you don't want to. The fields are grazed and cultivated but the woodlands are much as they were at the end of the last ice age with spectacular walks along Cleghorn Glen with the chance to see badgers, bats, deer and all manner of birds among the towering pine and beech trees. The Mouse Water (pronounced moose) tumbles down along the edge of the farm and has some glorious pools for swimming, shallows for paddling and some spectacular water falls before it joins the River Clyde.

Highland & Transylvania Glamp. Pod

2 units · Glamping1 acre · Roy Bridge, Scotland
Glamping pods in a large garden alongside the river Roy A 10-minute drive from Loch Lochy and 20 minutes from Fort William Seating in the garden and kitchen and ensuites provided Right on the side of the river Roy, the Highland and Transylvania Glamping Pods is a properly cosy base in the Scottish Highlands. The large garden has a terrace, river views and a seating area, but perhaps the best bit is that it’s located a short drive from lochs, glens, rivers and long-distance trails. What might you get up to? Climbing, hill walking, mountain biking and water-based sports are all on the agenda in this area, but especially in Fort William (20 minutes’ drive) and Lochaber, which have been ascribed as a capital for outdoor adventures. Scotland’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, is also 20 minutes’ drive away. Even closer is Loch Lochy (10 minutes’ drive), which has access to part of the 79-mile Great Glen Way (around 10 minutes’ drive). From Fort William, start off on another long-distance trail, the West Highland Way, which stretches for 96 miles across the banks of Loch Lomond and ends in Milngavie. The pods here have been named after the places where the owners spent their childhood and continue to live. Feel free to stop off while travelling to or from the Isle of Skye (two hours and 10 minutes) or stay for a good while… Fort William’s centre has a splendid selection of pubs, restaurants, shops and a bus and rail station. Plus, there are lots of links courses for golfers a day trip away, like the Royal Dornoch (two hours and 25 minutes). Both pods have a small double bed (a bit narrower than a standard double) with all bed linen provided. The kitchen areas are equipped with a fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster (crockery, cutlery and towels are handily provided). To keep things nice and tasty, the pods are also well insulated. The patio doors and the rear opening window are both double glazed and there are electric radiators to inject some extra heat into the kitchen and living area.

Glamping near Inveraray guide

Overview

Set on the shores of Loch Fyne, the small but bustling town of Inveraray is packed with history and heritage. It’s home to fine examples of Georgian architecture as well as the neo-Gothic Inveraray Castle, from which walking trails take you to the summit of Dun na Cuaiche for sweeping views. Inverary makes for an easy trip by train or car from Glasgow or Edinburgh, as well as a great base from which to explore Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park where rugged mountains, dramatic glens and misty lochs draw plenty of outdoor enthusiasts. Campers have options, too, from well-appointed caravan parks to wild camping.

Where to go

Around Inverary

Three miles south of Inveraray, on the edge of Loch Fyne, and within easy access of activities such as fishing, sailing, and boating, Argyll Caravan Park has plenty of motorhome and caravan pitches with views over the loch toward the hills and glens of the West Highlands. The site also has a selection of glamping pods.

Lochgilphead

Around 20 miles down the western shore of Loch Fyne, the village Lochgilphead lies at the tip of Loch Gilp, a shorter, offshoot loch. Staying here puts you within easy reach of amenities, such as the village’s cluster of independent shops, and makes an ideal base for exploring the Kintyre area with its opportunities for fishing, walking and other outdoor pursuits. On the Crinan Canal, Lochgilphead Caravan Park has large serviced touring pitches, as well as static caravans for rent.

Luss

Around 30 miles west of Inveraray, the pretty village of Luss is one of the main gateways to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. It’s also where sightseeing cruises typically depart. In a tranquil spot on the western banks of Loch Lomond, just outside the village but within walking distance of a pub and shops, Luss Caravan and Campsite has a range of touring and camping pitches, many with hookups.

When to go

For enjoying long, sunny days in the great outdoors, visiting in spring and summer is best. Note, however, that the area gets very busy in July and August. September or October is a good alternative: crowds are much smaller and the blooming heather turns the hills purple. You’ll get the place to yourself in winter but likely have to put up with chilly temperatures, wet conditions and 4 p.m. sunsets.

Know before you go

  • Some private sites in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before traveling.
  • Wild camping is possible along Loch Fyne but comes with responsibilities. Check the Scottish Outdoor Access Code website to find out more.
  • Be aware that ticks (which can carry Lyme disease) are present in the National Park, especially in spring and summer.
  • Train services provide access from Glasgow and Edinburgh and a limited bus service runs around the area.
