3 night trip Scotland

[Mum4Fergus]

Evening all I'm very lucky to have a loan of a camper van for 3 nights at the beginning of August. It will be just DS(6) and I who are going and I'm looking for ideas of where to go...don't mind driving and would be happy to have a new location to stay each night. Set and/return location will be Edinburgh...any ideas?!

I really enjoyed Tarland in Aberdeenshire - quiet surroundings, it's near-ish a road but it's not a main road and it's beyond some trees. It's walking distance from a wood with walks and bike tracks.
We saw all sorts of birds just from our pitch. It's a camping and caravanning club site.
Another one run by then is Rosemarkie which isn't particularly close to Tarland so might not make a great stop on the same holiday. It has an RSPB woodland with nice walks, a beach and almost guaranteed dolphin viewing. It's on the coast so gets windy, but if you're in a camper van that shouldn't affect you.
If you fancied Tarland, another one in Aberdeenshire (not right close though) is Stonehaven. That's a Caravan club one.
It's not my favourite campsite as it's in town, but it's good for children. There's a stony beach which is on granite on one end, sandstone the other, with lovely stones to look at. There is a huge playground just beside the site - not part of it, but so nearby. There's also the lido with outdoor salt-water (warmed) swimming, a slide, sometimes inflatables.

We stayed at a nice site on the shores of Loch Ness- saw Sea Eagles, camped right by the water.
There's also a nice site caravan club on Loch Lomond- it has baths! That was fab after a week under canvas.

Some great ideas there, thanks you! Also see what looks like a fab site near Gairloch

Tour of Fife? Beaches at Aberdour (Silver Sands), fun days out in St Andrews with castles, fabulous beaches etc?

Christmasmum-I lived in Fife for 12 years so have done it to death lol been looking at the NC500 but it recommends 5 days - I could try my own shorter version maybe...

Moray Coast
Isle of Arran (campsite at Lochranza good base)
Isle of Mull (Fidden Farm near ferry port for Iona is beautiful)
Clachtoll

Sounds like fun!
