digginit 0 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 the whole of Scotland is very hospitable to wild camping and provided you leave no trace and camp the way have described i see no reason for you to have any issues. there's a few Bushcraft sites on the net, as most of these guys do exactly what your planning on, the forums are a good place to pick up tips on locations that are sympathetic and tolerant shall we say. you wont find them outright condoning wild camping in England, but, if you read between the lines and play your cards right, you'll soon be put on the right track. failing that there are loads of campsites that have woods attached that allow you to do what you want within reason with the added bonus of basic facilities not too far away. i love getting away to the woods me. ive had lots of wild camping trips in scotland in the past best check the law hasnt changed i remember reading an artical about it a while back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
