The Region in Detail
Your comprehensive travel guide for camping Schottisches Hochland.
The Highlands: North or South?
🧭 The North Highlands are wilder and more untouched, with dramatic coastlines and remote glens. The South is more accessible, offering gentler hills and picturesque villages. Both regions have their charm – depending on what you're looking for.
Mobility in the Highlands
A motorhome is ideal for exploring the Highlands, but some roads are very narrow. Consider leaving your motorhome at a campsite for a few days and taking hikes or trips with smaller vehicles or public transport. There are no road tolls in Scotland!
Insider Tip: Applecross
Off the beaten track lies the Applecross peninsula. The winding road over the Bealach na Bà (Pass of the Cattle) offers breathtaking views (for experienced drivers only!). Applecross itself is a charming village with an excellent seafood bar.
