Routes That Offer You The Best Of Scotland

When it comes to knowing which route to enjoy on your motorhome holiday, you truly are spoilt for choice. From the Highlands at the northern tip of Scotland to the routes along the east and west coasts, this country has so much to offer in the way of stunning views, adventure activities, nature walks and camping opportunities. 

Allow Avanti luxury motorhomes to delve into the treasure chest that is Scotland, and let you know what some of the most popular Scottish routes have to offer. 

The North East Coast of Scotland 

The picturesque North East Coast of Scotland rund from Dundee to Aberdeen and passes Montrose and Stonehaven along the Moray Firth coastline. The North East Coast is home to sleepy fishing villages, coastal castles and historic attractions including:

• Glamis Castle, the legendary setting for Shakespeare’s Macbeth and childhood home of HM Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother and the birthplace of Princess Margaret. The castle is a living, breathing monument to Scottish heritage, and is a must-see if you are enjoying a motorhome holiday along the North East Coast of Scotland.

• Scone Palace, the world famous crowning place of the King of Scots, is a Category A-listed historic house situated near the city of Perth, and is a prime example of Gothic architecture.
• If nature is more up your street, then a trip to Buckpool is a must. Here you’ll be able to stay overnight next to a colony of grey seals – surely a once in a lifetime experience!

• Culloden Battlefield and museum – come and find out why the battle that lasted only an hour changed the way of life in the Highlands forever. 

The West Coast Of Scotland

The west coast of Scotland literally has it all, from striking castles and islands to explore to vast, mysterious lochs and towering mountains. A scenic tour in your luxury motorhome is going to open up an entire world of charm and excitement, with attractions including:

• The Isle of Skye, which is connected to the north west coast of Scotland by bridge, and is known for its medieval castles and imposing, rugged landscapes. Here you’ll find the town of Portree – a great base for exploring, and featuring harbourside pubs and boutiques.

• Fort William, known as the gateway to Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest peak, and Glen Nevis Valley, which is home to Steall Falls.

• Cairngorms National Park, one of the most unique wildlife habitats in the UK – which explains why BBC’s hit nature shows SpringWatch, WinterWatch and AutumnWatch have chosen to film here. 

The Outer Hebrides

Another enchanting route to follow, the Outer Hebrides is an idyllic chain of islands that can be found 30 miles off the North-West coast of Scotland. Among the islands of Lewis, Harris, Scalpay, Beneray, North Uist, South Uist, Eriskay, Barra, Vatersay and Benbecula you’ll discover breathtaking views, enjoy landscapes teeming with wildlife, and experience some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. 

The list of amazing attractions in this part of Scotland is endless and includes:

• Landmark Forest Park, where you can walk among life-sized dinosaurs, enjoy three water coasters and visit the tropical hothouse with hundreds of stunning butterflies and exotic flowers. Recently voted one of the top ten adventure parks in the UK, Landmark Forest is sure to be a hit with the kids!

• The Whalebone Arch can be found on the Isle of Lewis, and is an impressive sight consisting of two lower jaw bones of a blue whale that were removed when a beached whale was washed ashore in 1920
• The Iron Age Village, discovered on the banks of an ancient loch, is the first of its kind in Scotland and is a real treat for history buffs!

• Neptune’s Staircase is a lock comprising 8 locks on the Caledonian Canal. Known as the longest staircase lock in Britain, this originally hand-powered system has now been converted to hydraulic operation. Set in the shadow of Ben Nevis, this dramatic set of locks has become quite the tourist attraction for those visiting this part of the world.
