Craigmaddie Glamping

The air up here smells of heather and damp grass, and on a clear morning the Scottish Borders roll out in every direction like crumpled green velvet.

This is a small glamping spot that welcomes campervans, tucked into countryside that's made for walkers and anyone who wants proper distance from the everyday. The Borders are hill country — gentle but endless, stitched with old drovers' routes and quiet valleys — so if you've got boots and a map, you're sorted. It's the kind of place that suits couples after a long weekend off-grid, or solo travellers happy with their own company and a good book.

Facilities aren't specified in detail, so it's worth checking what's available when you book — same goes for campfires, which may be allowed depending on conditions when you arrive. Expect a low-key, peaceful setup rather than a bells-and-whistles site. The vibe is remote, unhurried, and honestly quite lovely if you're after somewhere to just be still for a bit.

West Highland Way (Milngavie to Drymen part 1)

Follows the official start of Scotland's iconic 96-mile trail through gentle woodland and farmland north from Milngavie. Terrain is mostly flat to gently rolling on good paths, making this first 12-mile section manageable for older children, though the distance rules out buggies and very young kids. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Enjoy Mugdock Country Park's bluebell woods, open moorland at Dumgoyne views, and a real sense of adventure beginning without the Highland drama that comes later

Follows gentle to moderate terrain through farmland and woodland between Balloch and Strathblane, with some steady climbs offering rewarding views across the Campsie Fells. Suitable for families with older children who can manage longer distances, though not ideal for buggies due to uneven paths and stiles. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock.
