Where is the best place to go camping in Scotland?
I recommend the shores of Loch Lubnaig in the Trossachs, which is just a few miles north of the town of Callander. We camped there a few weeks ago and it was perfect.
The second car park, driving north, is the best spot. Although it's not exactly wild camping, as the shore is a short walk from the car park, it's not an official campsite so you can build fires. And the water's lovely for a swim. Get there early though because it's popular in the summer.
