The curlews call across the Aberdeenshire fields before you've even unzipped your tent, and on still mornings the air smells faintly of the North Sea not far beyond.
Dovecot suits tourers and campers who want a straightforward base in Scotland's northeast — caravans, campervans and tents all welcome, with year-round pitches that make it handy for winter wildcampers chasing the northern lights or summer families exploring Aberdeenshire's castles and coastal paths. The region's known for its rugged shoreline, distilleries tucked into glen valleys, and that big, changeable sky that shifts from brilliant blue to brooding grey in an afternoon.
Facilities are kept simple — clean toilets and showers onsite — and you'll need to ask about campfires when you arrive. It's a no-fuss sort of place, the kind where you park up, brew a pot of tea on the stove, and plan tomorrow's drive along the coast without a fixed agenda.
