Unfortunately the camp site in Melrose closes to tents on 14 September, so I wondered whether there was another one commutable by bus to Melrose.

Re: Kintyre Way in May

the Cairngorms National Park is of course nearby. I presume there are one-day walks in the park but are there any camp sites? I don't know the Rob Roy Way but I am familiar with the Cairngorms. If you finish up at Pitlochry you could get a train or bus up to Aviemore, replenish supplies and hike ou...

Re: Kintyre Way in May

I have decided to walk the Rob Roy Way and have bought Harvey's strip map of the route to navigate it. I plan to start on the weekend of 15-16 May and, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I want to camp my way along the route. I prefer to stay on camp sites but, other than the camp site just before D...

Re: Kintyre Way in May

Thank you very much for your helpful replies.. It's probably wiser to wait until later in the summer but I like Scotland in the Spring, particularly the flora! Those steep up-and-down sections by the costal inlets on the Cleveland Way were the toughest parts of that walk for me. I really hope to wal...
