Scotland in Winter – 4 magical camping holidays

Scotland is breathtaking at any time of the year. From majestic mountain ranges, castles where history was made, distilleries filled with wonderful whisky and the big 5 wildlife, Scotland can be as adventurous or as relaxed as you like.

As winter in Scotland approaches, this week saw the launch of our Winter Campervan Hire deal. From November through to the end of March 2015, you can rent a Roadie from our Edinburgh depot from only £35 per day.

Hiring a campervan in low season has many benefits. From off season rates, less tourists and access to those stunning off the beaten track destinations where public transport is very limited. More so, every corner reveals a new horizon, coastal path, mountain pass or breathtaking vista.
