Three weeks on the road in Scotland taught us that where you stop for the night matters just as much as where you go.
Travelling with our set-up gave us a rather wonderful sort of freedom. No rushing to reach a campsite, no fixed itinerary and, most importantly, no sacrificing comfort along the way. At the end of a long day, everything we needed was already with us - a proper place to sleep, shelter from the Scottish weather and the freedom to wake up somewhere entirely new the following morning.
That freedom does, of course, come with a few rules.
We always checked the signs before staying overnight, kept everything within the footprint of the vehicle and treated a car park as exactly that - a place to park, not a campsite.
Our set-up was even checked during the trip to make sure the sleeping area was accessed from inside the vehicle and nothing extended beyond its footprint.
A little consideration goes a long way: respect the signs, respect the surroundings and leave no trace.
And then all that remains is to park up, make yourself comfortable and enjoy waking up to another rather spectacular Scottish view.
