Googled they have hiked the daily charge on the nearby car park but have they got a ‘no overnighting’ sign there?
What do others do?
ALSO..... Skye.... anywhere I can safely park the car for a week whist I do the Skye Trail.
Don’t mind paying a pub or whatever....as long as it’s a safe place
Thanks.
I just avoid the Cobbler.
As for Skye, there is a big free long-stay car park in Portree, down at the waterfront near the Yoof Hostel. Portree is quite heavily policed so I don't think street crime is a problem. Uig has a big car park too, beside the brewery. Sligachan has a big car park but it is busy, you may return to find a drunken hiker has vomited all over your precious chariot, or over-zealous Mountain Rescue types have removed the wheels so you have to report to them to get your wheels back and receive a reprimand. They took down a guys tent in the Cairngorms and he had to go and beg for it back while they tutted at him.
